Trump had been getting the most tepid lesser-of-two-evil support from the Mormons of Utah.  Now?

Wacky polls from Utah.

The poll shows Clinton and Trump tied at 26 percent, McMullin with 22 percent and Libertarian Gary Johnson getting 14 percent if the election were held today.

Or there’s this.

Among Utah voters likely to cast ballots in November’s presidential election, 34% currently support Trump, 28% back Clinton, 20% back McMullin, and 9% support Libertarian Gary Johnson.  Green Party candidate Jill Stein has 1% of the vote and another 6% are undecided. 

Basically the conservative vote splits three ways, consolidating the liberal vote.

Of course, being that there are no competitive down state campaigns — not that I’m aware of — for Hillary to try to get any coat-tails on, it would be pointless for Hillary Clinton to chase these electoral votes.  So it is a matter of whatever happens, happens.  But it is neat to consider, and even neater to consider the 3rd party — and not even one of the renown third parties — winning a state.
