Comments about ‘62% say Mitt's still in race’

And prior to this no one has ever suggested that Utah exists in a skewed reality?

And the point of this story is???

Have to love them. The poll of 413 Utahns conducted by Dan Jones & Associates say Mitt has 62%.
413 out of about 2 million Utah people? I might as well ask my dogs who they like.

I think Romney will be the Republican candidate and will win the presidency. He is by far the most outstanding individual in the race bar none.

All the snide comments in the world will not make Romney anything other than a decent, superlatively successful and accomplished gentleman with a great family and a great future.

We need our A-game at this dangerous point in our history...and that's Mitt. The world is volatile, the jihadists are hunting us, the economy is strong but wobbling. We need a cool head, a brainiac. We need Romney.

Pray God we get him...and donate to help him. I've decided I'm going to even though I don't have a lot. I want to do my part in that way, get some signs, start helping ring doorbells or something. We need this man as president! I support Mitt!

Face it Utah. You are not going to get a chance to vote for Mitt. He will have been scuttled long before anything of importance happens here. We have really very little OOMPF in Republican politics nationally. They just take our cash and smile and say "thank you." We are taken for granted. But with our voting record, why not?

Skewed reality...

According to a nationwide CNN poll taken the same days said, "The poll contained some worrying news for Romney: 62 percent of those surveyed say they will definitely not vote for the former Massachusetts governor in the general election, compared with just 13 percent who say they will definitely support him -- the worst showing of any of the major candidates."

Don't worry Utah, you opinion really matters on these things, right?

When Utahn's opinions come closer to the rest of the antion, then maybe politicians will start paying attention to Utah.

Memo to Dan Jones:

Your polling is irrelevant. Why don't you get out of the business? No question that Willard "Mitt" Romney is the best qualified man or woman in the presidential hopeful field from any measurement. But why ask Utahns. What do they know about politics? They elect democrats just like others. This is a liberal state.

Memo to doggie, polls, and annoymous:

You people are hopeless, and are liberals. My dogs would have voted for Mitt, and have more sense than people who think Osama Obama, Hillary, Edwards and all the other democrats combined. The mainstream media, Huckabee, and people around the country of various persuasions have attempted to frame this race in religious terms. Mitt's core beliefs and principles, politically and religiously are correct. He is the most fit to occupy the White House unquestionably.

Utahn's opinion is meaningful in Utah. I suspect that if Romney is still running, he will win the Utah Republican Primary by a landslide! However, it doesn't appear that he has the legs to get there. He will not do well in the Southern primaries after Michigan. Also, I suspect that McCain will win in Nevada.

At some point, Romney will stop spending his own money and drop out of the race.

and the universe evolves around utah..i wonder who Missouri wants?

is still in the running and I have some stock to sell you that will return 50 % on the dollar !!!

Doggie--because it's "The Mitt Morning News". Polls--because they know exactly who those 413 are, and what they'll say.

Romney doesn't stand a chance and he is only covered in the news here because of his faith . This story has only the purpose of showing off someone with slight Utah ties so we feel part of the nation scene. More coverage of his policies and actions would be more beneficial to potential voters than what the crowd thinks of his chances in the long run. As an important side note, while it is true that a vote for a candidate shouldn't be denied based on any form of prejudice, it should be remembered that a vote shouldn't be given to those who simply are in the same building on Sunday as you are. Actions, policy and character should be weighed first!!! Don't neglect your role in history!!

I have faith in the descernability of the average voter that Mitt Romney will come out the winner.
WE NEED HIM!

Yah gotta love people who lead with their hearts, and not with their minds. Nothing wrong with that, but you do have a tendency to miss reality when you do that.

Mitt in second place in Michigan will assure McCain of a great run for the nomination. Mitt will stick around because of three assets: he has money, he has money, and he looks good in blue. McCain will need a running mate, and Mitt might get the nod. That is all he is running for if he tanks and finished 2nd in his childhood state. McCain will be gracious if he wins, and bulldog about coming close if he loses. I don't know thought about picking Mitt for vp. Pawenty of Minn. looks better.

Huck is also trying for a 2nd place slot on the ticket. Hmmmmm.

Problem is: none of the combinations mentioned above can beat the democrats. Hillary and Obama, dynamite combination. Toss in Edwards as a back up to either one of them, and bingo, go pick out the carpets and new furniture.

Good that a small sampling has faith in Mass--Michigan boy. But the rest of the world is not following

413 people in Utah only represent 4/10,000ths (0.0004) of Salt Lake County alone and only 2/10,000ths (0.0002) of the entire state of Utah. A piece of paper is thicker in measurement than that. Perhaps they are measuring just the ink on the paper (so this isn't worth the paper it's written on). I'd like to know what area they polled and what they charged for their numbers. Perhaps it was a way for Dan Jones & Associates to get their name in the paper.

Mitt is an excellent candidate, he would be the best thing that could ever happen to America politicly, he has a wonderful record. Romney is a true leader and should definitely be the Republican candidate for the U.S. elections.

Romney for president!

Dan Jones polls just under 500 people out of approximately 200,000 or so registered voters and says that's a viable poll? They're as caught up in the hysteria of the event as Utah's Mormon voters are... totally out of touch with reality!

Utah, with its miserly few electoral votes, is a spit in the bucker of the political process, and still Romney garners money from Utah's Mormons. Which leads me to ask the following:

Mormons are stingy as hell when it comes to investing, contributing or putting their money where there mouth is on things secular, except when it serves their religious interests. Utahns as a population in general put less into savings accounts, retirement programs, are at the bottom of the list for investing in local business start-ups as an investor, pay less per out of pocket student costs/programs (in a State that prides itself on non-welfare philosophy) etc., etc., until the frenzy to get one of their own elected to high office presents itself, then they contribute and pay out to Romney all he asks for.

And after taxes and tithes (also a sort of tax), typical Mormons say they don't have enough. Year right! It's about priorities.

Mitt is done. Time to move on. It would be nice if the Deseret News could report on some of the other candidates.

There are some very influential people that speak very positively about Romney, Rush Limbaugh, Hannity are two that are in my tired brain. They have not endorsed them, but have you heard how they talk about some of the other Republicans? Also, people in Utah need to get over that the media covers the LDS church as much as it does, hello, it is a Mormon state. I live in Missouri and the media covers the Catholic church, the broadcasters even say things about their membership in that church. Someone else said that the reason the polls in Utah were pro-Romney is because Utah is a Mormon state, no duh, and what were the polls in Iowa? There are good points with all the candidates, the big question is, do we want someone that can help the economy or someone that can handle the people out to destroy this country with terrorist attacks? Maybe they need to work together and take the good from each.

what else would they say even he loses utahn's will say they country is done.
