Former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis are now running even among Utah Republican voters, according to a new poll.
Among all voters, nearly 21% would choose Trump to be the 2024 Republican nominee in the primary, according to the latest Deseret News/Hinckley Institute of Politics poll. DeSantis is two points behind, with 19% support.last month's pollFormer Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney is the only other potential candidate polling in the double-digits, at 11%, among all respondents.
The poll offered voters randomized names of Republican candidates and hopefuls and asked them for their pick for the Republican presidential primary.Joshua McCrain, a political science professor at the University of Utah, said that the trend of Trump staying ahead in polls isn't surprising, even amid an array of legal troubles.
But, McCrain said, Utah is an interesting playing field. Trump's "historically bad" performance in the Republican primary in Utah coupled with the state's inclination toward moderate Republicans like Gov. Spencer Cox and Sen. Mitt Romney could help another candidate get ahead, he said.Utahns are also familiar with DeSantis, who is speculated to launch his bid for president in the coming months. He visited the Beehive State on April 21 for the state Republican Party convention.
