Recently, the Deseret News of Salt Lake City published a general election poll of Utah, the most Republican state in America in recent elections. It showed Donald Trump losing there to Hillary Clinton, even as the other two remaining Republican candidates — Ted Cruz and John Kasich — beat her effortlessly.

On Tuesday, the Mason-Dixon poll released a survey of the same November matchups in the heavily Republican state of Mississippi. Again, Kasich and Cruz beat Clinton by double digits. Trump, however, squeaked past her by just three points, less than the margin of error.
