McMullin tops new poll of Utah voters
« on: October 19, 2016, 08:32:29 pm »
Quote
Independent presidential candidate Evan McMullin is leading in Utah, according to an Emerson College Polling Society survey released Wednesday.

McMullin is favored by 31 percent of likely voters in the state. Republican nominee Donald Trump has the support of 27 percent, and Democrat Hillary Clinton is backed by 24 percent.

Another 5 percent support Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson, and 12 percent are undecided.

The poll finds both Trump and Clinton are viewed unfavorably by a majority of likely voters in the state.

Clinton is viewed favorably by 23 percent and unfavorably by 74 percent. Trump is viewed positively by 24 percent and negatively by 72 percent.

The poll finds 51 percent of Utahns who supported Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) the state's caucuses are backing McMullin and only 29 percent are supporting Trump.

If true, it seems that the Mormons have more class this election than the evangelicals who supported Trump.

I'm torn by the news.

Trump is filth, but presumably not as disgusting as Clinton.  Maybe, anyway.  She's like terminal cancer.  He's like probably terminal cancer.

On the bright side, I can give a I-told-you-so-you dumbasses message on FreeRepublic.

People are such idiots.  I will never forgive his idiot primary supporters or Fox News.

Unfortunately, he's not on the ballot in my state nor qualified as a write-in.

He's running a single state gambit. We will see how this pans out for him.

I've noticed more articles attacking him lately, but none of them seem to have any substance to the attacks.  They seem to be "since we don't know otherwise, he must be a tool of a Bush-Clinton conspiracy".

Unless something changes, I plan to vote for him.  Even though he won't take my state, it will show that I don't like the Trump/Clinton mess.

That's my position too.  Trump will win Tennessee, unless something radical happens in the next few weeks.  But McMullin is an acceptable write-in here, so he'll get my vote.

He's not on my state's ballot except as a write-in candidate (along with 33 other people, including David Limbaugh and somebody named Ameer Flippin).  :shrug:

That would certainly make a statement. If he did then he's gambling on how the electoral votes pan out across the nation.

For a 3rd party to win a state, in a time when so many are ticked off at the choices offered by the RTM and DTM it might help wake people up to other options.

I need to find out who is qualified as a write-in here in Georgia.  Our ballot has only three names.  Two are liberals, and the third is a pothead.

He seems to be doing well in Idaho as well.  I think he's going to win Utah and here is how he could win the presidency:

   The candidate is devoting his time and resources to Utah right now, but has a bigger strategy in mind. His presidential hopes rely on one extremely unlikely and unprecedented scenario: win enough electoral votes to hold Trump and Clinton below the 270 threshold needed to win the presidency outright. An Electoral College deadlock would throw the responsibility of electing a new president to the House of Representatives.


   With all due respect @libertybele this only works if Trump holds his own against hellary and that seems more unlikely with each passing day.  Many are now predicting hellary will get 325+ EV's. If that pans out for her, it's all over for everyone, 'cept the crying.
