From KSL.com:

2008 presidential race hasn't even officially begun, but a new poll shows Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is the favored candidate among Utah voters.

About 44 percent of Utahns surveyed said they would vote for Romney if a presidential race were held now, the Deseret Morning News said in a copyright story Sunday.

Sen. John McCain R-Arizona was second at 15 percent, according to the poll of 416 registered voters conducted for the newspaper Nov. 14-16 by Dan Jones & Associates. The poll has an error margin of 5 percentage points.

Romney was also first among Utah Republican voters at 60 percent and drew 33 percent of support from independent voters, the poll found.

McCain drew support from only 14 percent of Utah Republicans, but 21 percent of independents.
