Mormons & John McCain
Utahns are warming up to John McCain, the GOP's pick for president. A new poll for the Deseret Morning News/KSL-TV found that 54 percent of Utahns surveyed statewide would vote for the Arizona senator for president if the election were held today. That's nearly twice as many as supported McCain in a poll taken last month, after Mitt Romney, the former leader of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and the state's "favorite son" candidate, dropped out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination.
