Spencer Cox leads Jon Huntsman in latest 2020 Utah governors poll

The latest poll on Utah’s 2020 race for governor shows Spencer Cox with a sizable lead over Jon Huntsman and a big gap between these frontrunners and the rest of the Republican field.

The poll was conducted by UtahPolicy.com and Y2 Analytics and released late Friday. Cox, the lieutenant governor, received 41% of the support from Republican voters who will select their party’s nominee in a June primary, which is likely to be a crowded affair.

Huntsman, a former Utah governor who recently served as the U.S. ambassador to Russia, came in at 29%.
