Poll: Third-party challenger could make Utah tight for Trump

A new survey of Utah voters suggest the home turf of 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney could be an ideal place for an independent candidate to launch a formidable challenge against Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in the general election.

According to a Gravis Marketing poll released Monday, Trump would beat Clinton 36 percent to 26 percent in Utah if the two go head-to-head in November. But 35 percent of voters in the same poll declined to choose either candidate, instead selecting the option “other.”
