Utah GOP Optimistic Trump Will Win

The Republican Party's five-decade reassurance that Utah voters will deliver their state for the GOP presidential candidate could end Tuesday.

Republicans down the ballot in Utah, like Gov. Gary Herbert and U.S. Rep. Mia Love, are still favored to win their races on Election Day

But billionaire candidate Donald Trump's broad unpopularity in the conservative state has cast it as a tossup going into Tuesday.

Some Republicans and conservatives are considering voting across the aisle for Hillary Clinton, but many more are looking toward independent candidate Evan McMullin, a Mormon and former CIA operative.

McMullin has surged in Utah polls in recently but is unlikely to win the White House.

Utah GOP leaders say they have faith that most Republicans will fall in line and vote for Trump.
