AP Moves Utah into tossup category.

WASHINGTON (AP) — After a week of revelations and allegations about Donald Trump's behavior toward women, a third party twist lends an unprecedented level of uncertainty to one conservative stronghold.

The Associated Press this week moves Utah to a tossup after recent polls there showed a narrowing gap between the Republican nominee and Democrat Hillary Clinton.

While Clinton may not have much upside in a state defined by its relationship with the Mormon church, support for independent Evan McMullin and Libertarian Gary Johnson adds unpredictability to usually Republican Utah.

Two polls conducted in Utah this week, by Monmouth University and Y2 Analytics, showed a 6-point Trump lead and a tie between Trump and Clinton. But both surveys showed McMullin not far behind, earning support from about 2 in 10 likely voters, and Johnson from about 1 in 10.

2. Isn't that an online poll?

I think the AP also talks to people on the ground. I do know Trump as a 16% approval in Utah.

3. Don't think so

Here is more info on the poll:

4. There are also two other polls that show the race tied or within the MOE.

So, this is why it's stupid to go off just one poll.

6. Yup

Odd that it was posted here to rebut a pro-Clinton story!

7. Saw that too.

But averaging those 3 polls probably is closer to what it is.
I have a feeling Utah is very fluid right now.

8. It's very possible

Hillary rebuilt her marriage, and does a lot of charity work. Compare that to the walking orange nightmare and there's no question which way a Christian should vote.
