Poll: Romney leads Democrat in Utah Senate match-up by 51 points

Voters from all across the board supported Romney, the survey reported, with nearly 95 percent of Republicans and 22 percent of Democrats selecting him over Wilson. More than half of the independent voters polled also preferred Romney over Wilson, according to the poll.

About half of those polled said they would support Hatch if he runs for re-election and faces Wilson, though previous polls have indicated most Utahns would prefer the 83-year-old senator step down when his current term ends in 2019. By then he’ll have served 42 years in the Senate.
