That was back in August but the Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s chances started to dwindle as GOP nominee Donald Trump began to gain steam.
Enter a shock video tape of Trump making disparaging comments about women, more specifically talking about how he is able to “grab them by the p****”. And now Clinton is suddenly leading the nation by double digits.
As we discussed back in August, Utah Republicans, a majority of whom are devout Mormons, have not exactly been enamored with Trump.
The embattled real estate magnate is still a favorite to win Utah, but at anywhere from -250 to -400 odds, there is little value in betting on him to win there even with some pundits insisting the state is nowhere near ready to vote for a Democrat to win the White House. Indeed, it hasn’t happened since 1964.
Utah saw the 3rd largest percentage growth in population over the past decade (about 24%). The state gained one electoral vote, giving it 6 through the 2020 presidential election.
