The survey noted that Trump has “struggled to win the trust of voters in Utah,” despite leading in national polls as well as several other state-level surveys, leading in DeSantis’s home state of Florida, as well as New Hampshire and South Carolina.
“DeSantis has shown signs of strength in the state, but the latest Deseret News/Hinckley Institute of Politics poll shows him falling behind,” the survey reported.
Previously, DeSantis stood as the frontrunner in the state with a one-point edge, 27 percent to Trump’s 26 percent support. But now, Trump has taken the lead with 29 percent support — a three point increase. DeSantis, in turn, comes in second with 24 percent support, losing three points since the last survey.
No other candidate saw double-digit support, as former Vice President Mike Pence came in a distant third with six percent support. Another four percent chose both former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Rep. Liz Cheney, the latter of whom is not in the race.
Three percent chose former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, followed by two percent who chose anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott. Remaining candidates saw less than one percent support. Nine percent said “another candidate,” and 16 percent remain unsure.

This is a great sign for Trump and for the Republican party.
I like DeSantis for VP or ‘28 NOT for ‘24. Trump has things he needs to finish.
DeSantis should use this time to support Trump against the Deep State and to set himself up for ‘28.
Could this be the Streisand effect people were talking about would come after the latest bombardment of indictments against him?
Heard something about Romney running 3rd party in order to deny Trump Utah, Idaho and a 3rd state that I have forgotten now. Romney is hated in Utah and he now has a primary opponent so he likely won’t run again for Senator. Dint know if he would pick up votes for 3rd party Pres.
Would you please remind me what the Streisand effect is? Thank you.
“This is a great sign for Trump “
Pulling only 29% of republicans is not a great sign.
” and to set himself up for ‘28.”
If Trump wins and has a great VP it would close the door for 28.
I am happy for Trump but I hope to God and the Devil that Romney doesn’t get back in. That guy is corrupt like Biden and he and his family got share of BurismaBucks(TM).
Utah. Red state. Who cares?
The primary to watch in UT is whether Romney can survive the GOP vote. He was booed off the convention stage last year. The only way he can hang on is signature harvesting.
Bingo! DeSantis would be Trump’s “apprentice.”
