Original Story:
Third Party Presidential Candidate, Evan McMullin, will make a campaign stop in Rexburg Saturday.
A spokesperson for the McMullin campaign did not provide specifics of the visit but did tell KIFI/KIDK McMullin will hold a meet and greet with as many voters as possible.
McMullin, a Brigham Young University graduate, and former CIA agent is gaining the support of Mormon voters in Utah.
Despite about half the state not knowing who he is, McMullin has a profile that reassures voters as a Utah-born, straight-arrow Mormon Republican, said Quin Monson, a longtime political analyst and founder of Y2K Analytics. The polling firm surveyed 500 likely voters this week and found McMullin at 22 percent, narrowly trailing Trump and Clinton, who were tied at 26 percent each. The poll’s margin of error is plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.
A Monmouth University poll of 403 Utah likely voters conducted this week suggested Trump remains ahead of Clinton, 34 percent to 28 percent, but also showed McMullin closing in at 20 percent, despite being unknown to 66 percent of voters. That poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.
KIFI/KIDK will update this story as we get more information on McMullin’s visit.
