Not That We Had Any Doubt
Jon Huntsman Jr. is both the incumbent governor of Utah and a Republican -- two good things to be in an election year. He also happens to be a highly competent governor (unpaid endorsement right there).
The result? A new poll shows that Huntsman would take 73 percent of the vote if the election were held right now. His Democratic opponent, Bob Springmeyer, doesn't even pick up the rest. He'd only get 9 percent.
GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
