  • A new Deseret News/Hinckley of Institute Politics poll found 9 of 10 Utah Republicans trust state election officials compared to 7 of 10 Utah Democrats

The article from Deseret.com discusses a recent poll conducted by HarrisX for the Deseret News and the University of Utah's Hinckley Institute of Politics, focusing on Utah's political landscape ahead of the 2024 elections. The poll reveals that Governor Spencer Cox enjoys a significant lead over his potential Republican primary challengers, with 45% of GOP voters favoring him. In a hypothetical general election matchup, Cox leads Democratic challenger Brian King by 57% to 32%. The survey also touches on voter sentiment regarding key issues like education, the economy, and immigration, with education emerging as the top concern. Additionally, the poll indicates a slight preference among Utah voters for former President Donald Trump over President Joe Biden in a potential 2024 presidential rematch, with Trump leading 49% to 42%. The results suggest a stable but competitive political environment in Utah, with incumbents holding strong positions but facing challenges from both within their parties and from the opposition.
