Any new Utah polling out there?

I kind of wish Hillary would tell her supporters there to go for McMullin - it's not going to matter for her electoral vote count, but it would be nice to see it taken away from Donnie. Could happen anyway, but it would be easier if her people there voted strategically.

ETA: I don't really think they would, I'm sure they want to know that they cast their vote for Madam President Hillary Clinton

I've said in the last before that our people need to show up to the polls to win. Just because Trump is pretty behind doesn't mean we can sit on our butts. Obama showed, or should have showed everyone, when Democrats show up to the polls, Republicans lose.

It's a great idea.

Dems + Never Trumpers for McMullin = huge loss for Donald.

If polling is right, then she has a legitimate chance to win. The fact that there is a legitimate chance of a 3rd party person winning is the only reason McMullen is in this. If you make McMullen the de facto democrat, then he would lose some of his support back to Trump as would Johnson who is polling at between 28 and 14%.


It is the only state that can be called a 3 way race, and maybe even 4.

That being said, both Johnson and Stein are losing ground nation wide. Gary Johnson peaked at 9.2%, now down to 5.5

Jill Stein was at 4.8. now down to 2.0

not saying he'd be the defacto Democrat, just that people can make a meaningful NeverTrump vote there.

Kaine doesn't hurt, but VA has been trending Democratic for several cycles and Trump has been doing considerably worse than previous Republicans with well educated voters in the suburbs and VA has a ton of those.

Republicans lost the governors race in 2014 an off presidential year and several other state wide races.

I think McMullin has been underestimated here in Utah.

I think Mormons are repulsed by Trump. Enough Hillary Haters here to sink a ship.

I think McMullin will come in first.

Nate Silver thinks so as well. I get a feeling he will win Utah.
