New Utah poll (Emerson): McMullin 31 - Trump 27 - Clinton 24
http://www.sltrib.com/news/4485415-155/evan-mcmullin-takes-the-lead-inEvan McMullin, the Provo-born independent, has seized his first lead in Utah's fluid presidential race.
The Emerson College poll, released Wednesday, found McMullin with 31 percent, followed by Republican Donald Trump at 27 percent and Democrat Hillary Clinton at 24 percent.
The last 20 polls conducted in Utah had Trump either ahead or in a tie. In this survey, McMullin's advantage is at the edge of the 3.9 percent margin of error.
"We are very excited. We are humbled by the support," McMullin said about the poll moments after accepting the endorsements of some Republican state lawmakers. "We believe this momentum will spill over into neighboring states both in advance of the election and beyond. We are building a new conservative movement and we believe it begins here."
Emerson College found that McMullin was strongest among younger voters, capturing 36 percent among those 18 to 34, while Trump and Clinton received 22 percent each. Trump beats McMullin, 35 percent to 24 percent, among those who are 55 and older.
