Should U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, seek re-election next year?
The issue divides registered Utah voters, according to an O.H. Predictive Insights poll released earlier this week.
While Utahns have a net positive approval rating of the former Massachusetts governor and 2012 Republican presidential nominee, that does not mean most want him to seek re-election.
Romney has a 51% approval rating in the state, while 43% disapprove of him.
Even so, just 38% of voters said Romney should run again, while 42% said no; 20% said they were unsure.
Republicans generally oppose a second Romney term; 36% think he should run again, while 51% disagree -- numbers that could spell trouble for Romney in a GOP primary.
Meanwhile, Democrats (47% yes, 26% no) and independents (39% yes, 35% no) are more likely than Republicans to want to see Romney run again.
“Romney has seemed to age backward throughout his political career,” Mike Noble, OHPI Chief of Research, said in the release, “10 years ago, he was the nominee for president and the standard-bearer of the GOP; now, he can barely muster a third of his own party’s support for a re-election bid.”
Romney is particularly unpopular with supporters of former president Donald Trump; 70% of them think that Romney should not run again, according to the poll.

If votes do count, folks need to realize in most cases, the old career politician needs to GO!
I know of what I speak...WHO let the place get like this? THE MORMONS. Which are 2/3 of the population. They let the 13% in, and they let the Heeespanic illegals in and look what they get. As foolish as I think they are, they know how to do a functional society.
They’ll keep voting him in. He’s Utah’s McCain.
Romney is more popular with democrats than republicans in Utah.
Mitt Romney sent his son to collect bribes in Ukraine.
He is ok sending thousands to their deaths to keep the bribe money flowing to him.
Is there any even more leftward tilting RINO in the house?
Come on down. You can be the nest US Senator.
No regard for the wishes of voters required.
His dog won’t ever run again.
Evan McMillan is always in the background ready to run for the senate again. He’s a pain. Utah is red but not Arkansas red.
