Poll: Mitt Romney leads potential Senate challengers ahead of 2024 election — if he decides to run
Salt Lake Tribune/Noble Predictive Insights ^ | August 17, 2023 | Bryan Schott

Utah Sen. Mitt Romney has some work to do if he plans on running for another term next year, but he has a big head start on any potential challengers, according to a new poll.

In a hypothetical 2024 Republican Senate primary match-up, 30% of Utah Republicans would vote for Romney. Attorney General Sean Reyes, who is reportedly eyeing a U.S. Senate bid, is the only other potential candidate with double-digit support at 13%.

So far, two other candidates are in the race for Romney’s seat, but they only managed marginal support in the poll from Noble Predictive Insights. House Speaker Brad Wilson, who launched his campaign earlier this year, is at 5%. Riverton Mayor Trent Staggs has been campaigning vigorously to replace Romney next year and was favored by just 3% of Utah Republicans.

They have a stupid system of mailing ballots to EVERY REGISTERED VOTER plus "independents" can vote it either primary.

Other than the super wealthy who own ski lodges around Park City (Robert Redford) or the ghetto slummers in the major cities, the Democrats can't get elected to much of anything. So guess which primary they crash?

Possibly so. No primary if they can get 50% +1 at the state convention. Most GOP activists despise Pierre.

But they have to unite behind one candidate because otherwise it goes to a primary where low information voters and Democrats who register as independents can vote.

Or the Democrats may choose not even to run a candidate as they did with Egg McMuffin (the CIA guy) running as an indy.

Apparently the saints in Utah are stuck on stupid if they re-elect Pierre

No, we get the Senator Utah deserves.

I keep hearing everywhere that Utah is a conservative state. But they seem to have some other criteria for who they elect.

Is your underwear magic? If you have magic underwear, you, too, can be a senator of Utah.

Does Utah have a runoff law? It seems like all of these challengers will split the anti-Romney vote and it could lead to Romney winning the nomination.

The Moron Table Napkin Choir is for sure voting for Mitt the wonder underwear boy— so they can continue to dress in theirs and weight for the starship to planet Kolob joing a “God on Earth”.. with greasy used car salesman hair and Panama Papers evidence of large off shore accounts. MassCARE— never forget— was Mitt.. obamaumaocare for Massa Chooses It. A walking fraudster. Famous video saved for posterity is him being accosted in an airport by Utah constituents... and he says “you’re NOT wearing a mask, violating the Law!” Octomoron on steroids, with Cartel pals and family in Mexico.

He’s an incumbent with 100% name ID at 30% in a Republican electorate (Utah) more inclined to support a “Republican” like him. 30% is therefore a terrible number - but if he draws multiple opponents to split the opposition, he could still have the upper hand.

Mitch will use the RNC to bankroll him.
