As expected, Republican Mitt Romney has a big lead over Democrat Jenny Wilson heading into the final two months of the 2018 campaign according to a new UtahPolicy.com survey.
The poll from Dan Jones & Associates gives Romney a 26-point lead over Wilson, 55-29%. The handful of minor-party candidates also in the are struggling to hit a combined 10% in the survey.
As it stands, Romney's level of support is the lowest for a GOP U.S. Senate candidate from Utah in more than two decades. The last time a Republican got less than 60% in a U.S. Senate race in Utah was 1992 when Bob Bennett defeated Wayne Owens with 55%.
Wilson's 29% support is close to the statewide ceiling for Democrats in Utah we've seen over the past five elections (snip)
There's not much room for Wilson to pull off what would be a colossal upset in November. Even if she does manage to win all of the undecided voters, she still must peel away voters who are already in the Romney column. That's a tall order for a Democrat in Utah.
