Former U.S. Rep. Jason Chaffetz and Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox continue to lead the pack of presumed Republican candidates for Utah’s 2020 gubernatorial election, according to a new poll from The Salt Lake Tribune and Hinckley Institute of Politics.
Chaffetz carried the support of 25 percent of registered Republican voters in the poll, followed by Cox with 16 percent. The results are virtually unchanged from a June survey by The Tribune and Hinckley Institute that also found Chaffetz and Cox with 25 percent and 16 percent, respectively, among Republican and unaffiliated voters.
“I’m honored and thrilled that Republicans are so happy with me,” Chaffetz said.
