If you believed the national polls, you’d be thinking right now that Biden will obliderate Trump in November.
But if 2016 taught us anything, it’s that you can’t necessarily trust the national polls.
Remember how many polls gave Hillary Clinton a 99% chance of winning the election?
Sometimes, it can be a better gauge to look at state-by-state polls.
And according to a new poll, Trump holds a 19-point lead over Biden in Utah!
Here’s the Deseret News story on the matter:
Among the many questions that came into the newsroom last week were these intriguing inquiries:
Does Joe Biden have a chance to turn red Utah blue?
Is Biden’s religious foundation enough to convince Utah voters that he will balance LGBTQ rights with religious liberty concerns?
To the first question, a new Deseret News/Hinckley Institute poll would indicate it’s a steep climb. Little has changed since April, despite a nation turned upside down by COVID-19 and the economic upheaval it caused.The results show that half of registered voters polled said they would vote for President Donald Trump if the election were held today, compared to 31% who would go with Biden. As Lisa Riley Roche reports, “only 11% said they are unsure who they’d choose,” in the poll conducted July 2-Aug. 1 of 1,000 registered Utah voters.
It shows no change from April, when the Deseret News/Hinckley poll showed 51% of Utahns said they would vote to reelect the Republican president, compared to 32% who would cast their ballot for Biden.
