Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are tied in Utah, according to a new poll released on Wednesday. The Y2 Analytics poll, published first by Mormon church-owned Deseret News, found both Clinton and Trump at 26% among likely Utah voters, with independent Evan McMullin at 22% and Libertarian Gary Johnson at 14%.

Trump is going to win in a landslide. Americans in general are fed-up with Washington, D.C.

blame Romney for stabbing the R party nomination (and thus, R party voters) in the back

Boorish comments versus Hillary.

No comparison unless you a total ass.

My suspicion is it has to do with Romney.

Is this other clown a Mormon spoiler?

Would pressure from the church tend to make them say they will vote for McMullin, even though they still expect that they will vote for Trump?

Aren’t Mormons pro-life?

“But the Holier Than Thou Mormons have no problem with Hillary.

Talk about idiots. There I said it.”

I’m Mormon, and I’m planning to vote for Trump, and based on conversations I’ve had with other Mormons, I think Trump will get the majority of Mormon votes in this election, just a smaller proportion than voted for Romney, McCain or Bush. I don’t think insulting Mormons is helpful here, most of us are still on the same side you are.

As I said, “IF ITS A SQUEAKER” I don’t think it will be, but should it be, I certainly can believe that Trump’s lewd comments could hurt him in Utah... far more than anywhere else..

Again, I don’t think this is going to happen, but can’t blanket dismiss it either.

Wouldn’t it be a crazy ending to a crazy election if everyone was up late to see which way Utah would go???

Agreed. That was very mean of me to group all Mormons under the Romney Tent. I apologize to you because I am wrong when I do that. Romney is a huge disappointment. It does not excuse my behavior though. I am sorry. (But anyone who votes for Hillary IS an idiot. I just can’t help myself. : [ )

I agree. However, if Trump is going to pay a high price for the lewd comments, Utah would be the place I would expect it to manifest...

I don’t think this is going to be a squeaker election, but can you imagine if the entire nation was up late on edge waiting to see which way Utah was going to fall???

That would be the craziest ending to the craziest election cycle of my lifetime for sure.

Thank you, and I will acknowledge that I have also posted some things that could have been worded a little better. Anyway, I think the poll is a real outlier and not credible, and I see no reason to be worried about Utah at this point.

Yep, Trump needs to hold all Romney states and flip 64 EVs. If he loses any Romney states, add that to the total he needs to flip elsewhere.

So they’d rather have a real rapist return to the White House than have a crude man occupy it? Its not as if this nation hasn’t had many crude Presidents.

Just a reminder:

Using simplest path, Trump needs to flip 63 electoral votes over Romney in 2012.

The closest states where Obama edged Romney were:

(lost by % of vote) (EVs) EV total
Florida (<1%) (29) 29
Ohio (1.9) (18) 47
Virginia (3) (13) 60
Colorado (4.7) (9) 69

next five closest
Pennsylvania (5.2) (20) 20
Iowa (5.6) (6) 26
New Hampshire (5.8) (4) 30
Nevada (6.6) (6) 36
Wisconsin (6.7) (10) 46

Agree. I heard their governor endorsed Trump and I hope that does something to deliver their six electoral votes.
