If you haven’t been to Shurtleff 2008 yet – you should. Mark Shurtleff has always done a superb job of leveraging new media in reaching the people of Utah – both from an official perspective as A.G. and from a political perspective as a candidate. From MyFOX Utah:
A new poll shows incumbent Republican Gov. Jon Huntsman and Attorney General Mark Shurtleff holding substantial leads in their races for re-election.
The poll for the Deseret News and KSL-TV showed Huntsman has the support of 77 percent of registered voters. Shurtleff has 65 percent support.
The poll of 604 registered voters was conducted by Dan Jones & Associates, May 13-19. It has an error margin of 4 percentage points. The Deseret News published the results in a copyright story Sunday.
Neither Huntsman nor Shurtleff has a challenger in the GOP primary. In November, Huntsman faces Democrat Bob Springmeyer and Libertarian Dell Schanze. Shurtleff will face Democrat Jean Welch Hill and Libertarian W. Andrew McCullough.
The poll showed 90 percent of Republicans favor Huntsman along with 52 percent of Democrats and 69 percent of political independents.
