Here’s even more of a look at the mood in Utah, where Orrin Hatch has to be grateful he’s not up for reelection this year:
A new Salt Lake Tribune poll of delegates to the GOP’s May 8 state convention shows 71 percent would be inclined to nominate someone other than Hatch if he were on this year’s ballot.
The six-term senator couldn’t even muster a favorable rating from a majority of the delegates, according to the poll, which carries a 4.4 percent margin of error. Forty-five percent gave him an unfavorable rating and 44 percent a favorable one.
