Utah could vote for a Democratic presidential candidate for the first time since Lyndon Baines Johnson in 1964.
Trump leads Biden by just 3% in America's most conservative state

Add this to Arizona, Georgia and Deplorable powerhouse Texas close to abandoning the Trumpster Fire.

Mark Kelly is going to win the Senate election in AZ and drag Biden along on his coattails.

I’ve bee following this blog since 2004-the guy who runs it is a GOP supporter. His predictions (except for 2016) have been fairly close to the actual results of the elections.
Right now he has Biden at 316 electoral votes, and the Dems gaining a net of 2 seats-we need to do better there.

Net 2 seats in the senate.

A gain of eight House seats would be a neat trick.

He’s being too conservative about the Senate. The pickup will likely be four or five. If everything breaks our way and the country is ready to thoroughly repudiate the despicable Repukes, it may be as many as seven or eight. But that is pie-in-the sky land.
Arizona
Colorado
North Carolina
Maine
Montana
Possibly Iowa

We need to do better with the senate- we need to pick up Maine, 1 of the Georgia seats and try to get IA, KY or MT. If we don’t a decent sized Senate majority it’s going to be rough for Biden.

If people don’t think the images of cities being looted will not boost Trump, they are being delusional. Will be interesting to see polling for next week.

Utah is not the most conservative state. Wyoming, Idaho, and Oklahoma are more conservative. I've been watching Utah slowly turn from deep red to light red and now to barely red. The deep red chunk of states from Idaho to the east coast is strong. Utah, Montana, Iowa, Missouri, Texas, Ohio are changing bit by bit. N. Carolina and Georgia are starting to go blue. I hope they will hang on to the blue polling. I am being much more adventurous in my senate selections. I'm sticking out my head and saying the dems will pick up 8 to 10 seats in the senate. Of course the dems have to go out and vote

Trump will steal the election! If you didn’t see the Press Conference yesterday then you must not realize we are no longer a democracy! Democracy and America are about dead and republicans killed them both!

Utah is very conservative but they've never liked Trump and he didn't do as well there in 2016 as in other red states, so the 3% margin isn't all that surprising.
It's because of the Mormons - they think he's immoral.

I wish the Mormons thought that way.

Why would looted cities be a boost to Trump, R8? He’s the President. It’s happening under his watch.

Romney should speak up. He's the only vocal member of the GOP to stand up against the orange evil.

Seriously, the orange turd is NOT Richard Nixon in 1968. He can’t pretend to offer change and stability - when absolute social and economic chaos is happening on his watch. He signed his name to this big fat check. He’s also not facing a divided opposition that was the Democratic party of the 1960s. It is a united front coming for his ass.

Yes, precisely, this is not 1968. That was on Johnson’s watch, and the Dems lost that election. Domestic unrest during a president’s term reflects quite poorly on him — especially like here, when he exacerbates the situation. He also looks weak and ineffectual. The stunt of walking to St. John’s yesterday and going to the Shrine today have backfired because the Episcopal and Catholic bishops rebuked both stunts in very strong terms. Plus he looked stupid. He walked over yesterday and held up a bible. Duh. Today he touched the statue. Duh. He looked like a buffoon and a moron.

Mittens has already spoken up. His response to Trump’s tyrannical Monday: “I didn’t watch it closely enough to know.” Fucking chickenshit coward!

R14, Romney covered his ass today when he was asked what his thoughts were on drumpf's photo OP yesterday. I wouldn't depend on him to do much.

This is always the case for Utah. They always suggest they'll vote for the democrat, and then they all go to the polls and vote for the republican. They can't help themselves.

Agree with R19. Utah turning blue will never happen.

In 2016, Hillary Clinton was beating Trump in the Utah polls, but only for the month of March, immediately after Trump clinched the Republican nomination.
Campaigning, visits from Mike Pence and abusive husbands persuaded Utah to vote for Trump in November.
But seriously, no Democrat has won even Utah surveys since the ‘60s — until Trump started running.
Trump will not do as well as he did in 2016.
