Ted Cruz is leading in Utah with 53 percent support among Republicans, according to a Y2 Analytics survey. If those same people supported Cruz at Tuesday’s caucus, he would win all 40 of the GOP delegates in the state.
Governor Gary Herbert endorsed Ted Cruz Monday during a press conference, which will most likely boost Cruz’s favoritism even more among Utah’s republicans. Herbert said he supports Cruz because he thinks he is the best nominee who has a chance to beat Donald Trump.
Cruz is already being supported by Utah Senator Mike Lee and 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
