Republican Donald Trump has a 15-point advantage over Democrat Hillary Clinton in Utah, 39 percent to 24 percent, as the two fight for the White House, according to a poll released Tuesday.
Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson gets 12 percent support among likely voters in the Public Policy Polling (PPP) survey, followed by independent candidate Evan McMullin, at 9 percent.
Pollsters found Trump’s lead grows to 20 points, 53 percent to 33 percent, when he faces Clinton one-on-one.
The highly unusual presidential race between Clinton and Trump has redrawn the electoral map this year. Previously safe GOP states are in play, but “there’s not much of a chance that Utah’s actually going to go Democratic this year,” Dean Debnam, president of PPP, said Tuesday.
PPP's results found both Clinton and Trump are deeply unpopular with Utah’s likely voters.
Sixty-one percent view Trump unfavorably while 31 percent see the GOP nominee favorably.
Seventy-two percent have an unfavorable view of Clinton, compared with 23 percent who look on the Democratic nominee favorably.
PPP conducted its latest sampling of 1,018 likely voters in Utah via telephone interviews Aug. 19–21. It has a 3.1 percentage point margin of error.
Also Tuesday, senior Clinton policy adviser Jake Sullivan opened a campaign office in Salt Lake City.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints make up 60 percent of Utah’s population and typically vote overwhelmingly for Republican candidates.
Trump finished last, however, during Utah’s GOP presidential primary in late March, with 14 percent of the vote.
Polling in neighboring Nevada, which is also home to many Mormons, has shown a closer race between Clinton and Trump.

Take that, Mitt!
Funny the stupid media was saying that Hillary is leading there... Wish I could remember who the liar was, prob CNN.
Oh - it was someone interviewing Jason Chaffetz.
They were saying that Utah was the one Romney state that Trump might not hold on to.
They completely suck.
Bye Hillary!!!!!!!
So much for Egghead McMuffin’s job of being the spoiler....
Well, just remember Trump is between zero and 1% with black voters.
CNN says so.
So much for Hildy’s lead in Utah. The web of deceit continues to fall.
figure these red state polls would reflect reality when school begins and families are no longer on vaction.. Also, more and more republican will come on board as it gets closer to election.
“Funny the stupid media was saying that Hillary is leading there... Wish I could remember who the liar was, prob CNN.”
You can’t believe anything the MSM, especially CNN, says. They’re the Tokyo Rose of the modern era. “GI—your invasion is failing, you’re all losing the war, you’re surrounded, your officers just want you dead, your girl friend is doing the milk man while you fight an unjust war...”
Back-stabbing Mitt loses yet again....
I NEVER EVER get tired of that picture!
Johnson will be lucky to get 2% in November.
That's amazing Clinton is so unpopular despite the medias and newspapers at all levels propping her up.
Much of Trump's unpopularity is due to the same medias and newspapers bashing him constantly (the RINO's helped in places like Utah), yet he leads by a nice margin.
This is possible good news that the enemedias, including at the local levels, have jumped the shark and will be less effective in shaping this election. Many more Americans do not believe their lies.
I keep saying, tune them completely out, even the locals, and quit letting them have any power over us. Let them all wither on the vine.

Send in more Syrians!
I’ll be happy with 270.
Maybe they’re not all Utards after all.
