Monson said the “implosion” of the Trump campaign has led to the GOP nominee’s share of the vote falling and support migrating to Johnson and more so McMullin. Clinton’s numbers have stayed about the same.

Born in Utah, McMullin, a former CIA agent and policy director for U.S. House Republicans, entered the race in August as a conservative alternative to the majority party candidates.

McMullin soundly beats Trump among those in the poll who identified themselves members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Matheson said McMullin has a unique window over the next five days to come out with an agenda and invite Utahns to be part of something. If so, he could scoop up the Johnson “placeholder” votes, as well as take some from Trump and Clinton.
