This Election Might Actually Put Utah, Solidly Republican For 48 Years, In Play
NPR ^ | October 12, 2016 | Terry Gildea

Utah has been solidly Republican at the presidential level for the past 48 years. But the leaked tape of Donald Trump bragging about groping and kissing women without their consent may have been the last straw for socially conservative voters in this heavily Mormon state.

Now, Trump's support in Utah could be collapsing, according to a poll conducted after the Trump tape was released. It shows both Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton drawing just 26 percent support.

"A lot of Mormon voters view Donald Trump unfavorably given all of the previous information that they had, and this just proved to be a tipping point where they finally said, I can no longer vote for this man," said Quin Monson, a political scientist and founding partner of Y2 Analytics, the firm that conducted the poll.

The Deseret News, a newspaper owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints hasn't weighed in on a presidential race since 1936, but on Saturday, it published an editorial calling for Trump to drop out.

Bill Clinton's sex habits remind us of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young ... and we greatly fear that Hillary will make good on her promise to revoke the tax-exempt status for our vast business enterprises!

Sorry - don’t believe Utah is in play and will go Rat for decades to come. I do believe the rust belt IS falling away from the Rat party and could go Trump and stay that way for a long time.

Their underwear is too tight.

Mormons and their perverted “husbands” have nothing to do with Christ or the good thereof. FUcreeps.

If Utah goes blue, give the credit to Bishop Romney and all his acolytes.

Mitt Romney was not elected. Will not get another chance. He lost. His future is as a former candidate. That’s it. He is nothing special...as proven by events.

Nice to know NPR is worried about us.

I guess the only solution is to drop Trump at once.

These articles sound like plants. We see the NY Times was taking “planted” articles from the Clinton Campaign.

Do not trust it.

Do Not Watch NPR.

Do Not Watch CNN.

According to the leader of the Trumpocrat PAC, he has 800,000 Democrats voting for Trump in PA. If that's correct, I don't see how Hillary can win there, 800K would be 13% of the entire vote in PA in 2012!

This is laughable. Anybody who thinks the LDS church doesn't "weigh in" on politics at ALL levels is naïve. The joke goes that in Utah the separation between church and state is the distance between temple square and the state capitol.
