#blutah is well on its way
After months of floating above 50% approval in Utah during his second term, President Donald Trump’s job approval rating dropped underwater in the Beehive State in April, driven largely by flagging support among Republicans and religious voters.
A new Deseret News/Hinckley Institute of Politics poll conducted by Morning Consult shows that more than half (54%) of Utah voters disapprove of Trump’s job performance, outweighing the 44% of voters who said they approve.

OK, so what's the truth about Latter-day Saint political affiliation?
Over the past two decades, the share of Latter-day Saints who identify as Republicans has fallen by 10% — from around 68.5% (2007-2010) to 57.5% (2022-2025) — with the loss evenly split between increases in Democratic affiliation & no affiliation.
Latter-day Saints went from being the most Republican-leaning religious group in the country ... to being the 2nd most, behind white evangelicals. In 2025, GOP affiliation sill outnumbered Democratic affiliation by a 40-point margin among Latter-day Saints.
What's the big deal? Latter-day Saints were the only religious group where the GOP lost its advantage over those 20 years. Every other group (except for atheists) moved in the opposite direction, erasing Democrats' decadeslong domination over partisan affiliation.
Why?
Brad Jones, the author of this @YouGovAmerica analysis of Cooperative Election Study data (and a BYU grad), said it could be Latter-day Saints' high rate of college education playing into the educational polarization that has defined the Trump era of American politics.
Quin Monson, a BYU professor who wrote the book on Latter-day Saint politics, said another explanation for dissatisfaction with the GOP among some Latter-day Saints could be a perceived conflict with teachings about civility, compromise and the Constitution.
Turning Point Action COO Tyler Bowyer, a Latter-day Saint who runs Charlie Kirk’s campaign operation, said criticisms from prominent Latter-day Saint politicians may have led to a temporary aversion to the GOP of Donald Trump, which is now being reversed.
What do you think?

Dems score huge redistricting victory in Utah, as judge overrules GOP legislature and orders a map w/ a new Harris +24 #UT01, guaranteeing Dems a one seat pickup. https://t.co/gtu8WbEr7s

Scoop - Run For Something is pitching major donors a $50M, 5-yr plan for growing Dem footprint in dozen states.
It does NOT include MI, WI, PA on its list of states to invest in.
RFS will endorse independent candidates for first time in 26.

Utah Republicans just handed Democrats a chance to flip 2 U.S. House seats, writes @geoffreyvs . But the Utah legislature's new congressional map also gives the GOP its best chance to hold onto all 4 Utah districts despite court-ordered redistricting. https://t.co/Nwcw7cpNkp
#Blutah on the horizon
Shift in statewide margin from the 2004 to 2024 presidential election.
Trump improved on Bush's margins across the Rust Belt and the inner south, while Harris improved on Kerry's in the mid-Atlantic and much of the west.
These are the 25 counties that have shifted the most toward Democrats in the Trump era.
12 of them have median household incomes that rank in the top 3 in their states: Boone (IN); Broomfield (CO); Collin (TX); Falls Church (VA); Fayette (GA); Forsyth (GA); Hamilton (IN); Johnson (KS); Los Alamos (NM); Morgan (UT); Teton (WY); Wasatch (UT). 5 of them are #1.
Map daddy said it, not me
A few things going on in Utah: Latter-day Saints becoming less Republican, Utah becoming less LDS, plus maybe a comedown from unusually high support for Romney in 2012. Still, notable that while most of America moves right, Utah and surrounding areas are going the other way.
What's going on in Utah?
Utah appears to be a total outlier in swinging from Trump to Harris compared to 2020, according to Financial Times charts. #utpol
