UT-4: Democrat Ben McAdams has opened up a 6-point lead over Rep. Mia Love

The tides could be turning in Utah’s hottest race of the 2018 election season, according to a new poll that puts Democrat Ben McAdams in the lead against two-term incumbent Republican Rep. Mia Love
.
The poll, by KUTV and Dixie Strategies, shows McAdams with the support of 49.5 percent of likely voters in Utah’s 4th Congressional District, compared to 43 percent for Love.

“We think that the race has been and continues to be very, very close,” said Alyson Heyrend, a campaign spokeswoman for McAdams. “We’re not taking anything for granted.”

KUTV is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, a conservative media company and the largest owner of television stations in the United States. It partnered on the poll with Dixie Strategies, a Republican-leaning political consulting, public relations and polling firm based out of Florida, to survey 936 likely voters in the district on October 25.

He is just a democrat who embraces helping people and giving people self determination over their bodies as long as that choice does not endanger overal public health, sort of like Harry Reid was.

Know he is pro choice and pro health care and the Guy is not a Bigot. SLC is home to one of the largest Gay Communities in the Nation.

Jackie Biskupski is a Unitarian Universalist who was raised Catholic. She's also gay. So the church has already had to accept political situations it probably dislikes intensely.
