"We are within striking distance to be able to beat him," Leavitt said. "What excites us is that we are at 19 percent and only have been campaigning for four weeks."
Leavitt said this shows to Republican delegates that if they want to replace Cannon, "their votes ought to go to us."
Meanwhile, in the 1st District, 55 percent of those polled said they supported Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah, with 15 percent opting for Democratic challenger Morgan Bowen.
In the 2nd District, Rep. Jim Matheson, D-Utah, got 60 percent of the voters polled, with Republican opponent Merrill Cook getting the most support of his Republican challengers at 7 percent.
