Trump down 7 in Kansas and tied in Utah.
Poll: Trump’s unpopularity could swing Utahns to HillaryDonald Trump's brash swagger and outlandish behavior have made him so unpopular in Utah that a new poll shows the state could swing to Hillary Clinton in November, potentially becoming the first time in 52 years that a Democrat has won the Beehive State.
Clinton and Trump are knotted at 35 percent, with five months of campaigning remaining before the election, according to the survey conducted for The Salt Lake Tribune and the Hinckley Institute of Politics at the University of Utah.
Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson draws 13 percent, a remarkably strong showing for the candidate who garnered 1.2 percent as the party's candidate four years ago.
"For a state where the majority of voters have supported Republican presidential candidates since 1964, the fact that Trump is in a dead heat with Hillary Clinton suggests Utah voters are still very reluctant about a Trump presidency," said Jason Perry, director of the Hinckley Institute.
The Clinton campaign said the poll shows that, even in Utah, voters are turned off by the GOP nominee.
"This is just the latest sign that Americans of all political stripes just aren't buying what Donald Trump is selling and agree he is unfit and unqualified to be president," said Clinton spokeswoman Lily Adams. "From his career of scamming Americans to his divisive and racist rhetoric, Utahns can't afford Donald Trump's America."
Messages to the Trump campaign were not returned Friday.
