Poll: Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump Tied… in Utah?

The Salt Lake Tribune published a new general election poll of Utah voters Monday, and the results are as follows:

Trump 29 percent Clinton 26 percent Johnson 16 percent Other 29 percent

The margin of error in the poll is plus or minus 2.5 percent, so what that means is that Hillary Clinton is effectively tied with Trump in Utah—a state that hasn’t voted for a Democratic presidential candidate in more than 50 years.

And with “other” receiving 29 percent support, it’s possible that nearly as many people are declining to choose a candidate rather than choosing to vote for either major party candidate. Throw in Gary Johnson’s support and a large, definitive plurality in the state are rejecting both candidates.

This seems like pretty compelling evidence that voters in Utah want a conservative alternative to Trump. Badly.
