From Deseret News archives:
Jacob, Cannon similar in views
A poll conducted this past week for the Deseret Morning News and KSL-TV by Dan Jones & Associates shows that Cannon leads Jacob 46 percent to 33 percent among all voters. However, among Republicans alone, Cannon's lead jumps to 60 percent versus Jacob's 35 percent. And Tuesday's election is open only to registered Republicans.
In their replies to the Morning News questionnaire, Cannon and Jacob both said they support constitutional amendments to protect the flag and traditional marriage. They each want to curb government spending and fight high gas prices by opening up federal and other lands for the development of oil resources in Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Alaska.
Even on illegal immigration, both men oppose the Senate bill and its path to citizenship for illegal aliens, though Cannon's critics say the bill was inspired by an earlier House agricultural jobs bill introduced by Cannon. That bill would have allowed some farm workers to earn legal status. Jacob and Cannon like the December 2005 House bill Cannon voted for it because of its border enforcement measures, but they agree it isn't sufficient.
They even said they are both against amnesty for illegal immigrants, though this is also where the two 50-something, Utah County millionaire businessmen have some differences.
