(KUTV) The Republican and Democrat national conventions are over and as the dust starts to settle, it looks like Hillary Clinton has a chance to carry Utah in the U.S. presidential election.
A new Hinckley Institute-Salt Lake Tribune poll shows the two are virtually tied with 35 percent for Donald Trump and 36 percent for Hillary Clinton. That is as close as a Democratic candidate has been to victory in more than half a century.
Clinton declined to campaign in the state during primary season and came in the spring only to raise money. Republican Mitt Romney, popular in Utah, spoke strongly against Trump. Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee fought against Trump at the Republican National Convention and said he doesn't know if he will vote for for his party's candidate, Trump.

The people of Utah have better sense than to follow Mittens off the cliff. The media loves stories like this early in the campaign. Anything to help the candidate their DNC masters decree.
The chart I looked at was old, but Utah has 6 EVs and PA has 20.
Howcome PA being in play after 30 years isn’t news?
>>Howcome PA being in play after 30 years isnt news?
Because it isn’t the RIGHT news.
Trump will carry Utah.
Yes he will.
I hope so.
This is just a silly attempt at psy-opps from an amateur. Utah is not voting Democrat now or in the foreseeable future. There is as much a chance of Utah voting Democrat as Massachusetts voting Republican , next stupid story!
Any piece headed “So-and-so COULD” or “Such-and-such MAY” is by that fact revealed to be propaganda.
could....
PA is not fitting the DNC dictated script.
Has the MSM’s savage partisanship ever been this bad in an election before?
I personally have never seen anything CLOSE to this!!
Am I remembering wrongly?
Gary Johnson is more likely to carry Utah than Hillary Clinton. Trump may not win as big here as Mittens did, but he will win.
This is the worst.
At least Trump is fighting back, unlike Dubya, McCain, and Romney.
The 1980 campaign was worse. At this same juncture in 1980 you’d think that Reagan was a crazy insane pretend cowboy more dangerous than Goldwater. Rock groups were producing songs about Reagan, none favorable. There were TV shows with puppets slamming Reagan, it was bad.
The Mormon Church is all in for the illegal alien inundation from south of the border.
Howcome PA being in play after 30 years isnt news?
because Utah is generally up about 40percent for the Pubs, that’s why this is news...PA being within 4 percent or so is no news at all, as it happens every cycle...
I was 12. I foud out later Whip It by Devo was meant to insult Reagan.
I remember during his presidency some science guy making fun of Star Wars.
Didn’t watch news at 12 so can’t comment on that one! :)
wow.
What a bunch of BS. Utah may not like Trump, but they will NOT vote for Hillary.
