More than 20 percent of Utah voters reported they were undecided ahead of the state’s primary on Super Tuesday.
David Magleby, emeritus political science professor at Brigham Young University, noted that Sanders won the caucuses with 77 percent of the vote in 2016.
He also highlighted the fact that the progressive candidates this year, Sanders and Warren, have the combined support of 40 percent of Democratic vote in the new Utah survey.
“This is not uncommon in one-party states,” he told the Tribune, “where the out party is more interested in making a statement than winning an election.”
Overall, Biden, Sanders and Warren appear neck and neck in the Super Tuesday states, according to a Sunday CBS News poll.
The Suffolk University/Salt Lake Tribune poll surveyed 500 adults over the phone, including 132 likely Democratic voters, between Jan. 18 and 22. The margin of error among Democratic respondents is 8.5 percentage points.
