Utah, PPP, Republican primary voters -- Romney or nothing?

46% unfavorable for Huntsman? 80% approval rating as governor? WTF?

I can imagine the Republican primary voter subset is a less satisfied with Huntsman than the state as a whole, but a poll showing it at that level does seem a little odd.

It's a sample size of 406.  Out of a state of nearly 3 million.  I'm calling it a statistical outlier.

I sure hope so.

Huntsman is seen as a centrist in UT (by UT standards).  Not surprising he'd be weak among strong conservatives.

Amusing that Utahns are so deluded about Romney's policies, however.  His stint of governor was well to the left of Huntsman's "centrism".

I don't like the results but I don't think it alters the argument for Huntsman.  I'd like to see a Romney/Huntsman poll for likely GE voters.

Deluded would be the word to use when a governor whose approval ratings regularly hit 90% has under 30% favorability ratings in a poll in his own state.
