Dan Jones & Associates for Deseret News/KSL-TV (5/13-19):
Jim Matheson (D-inc): 67
Bill Dew (R): 20
Undecided: 11
(MoE: ±7)
Matheson gets 93% of Dems, 77% of Indies, and 49% of Republicans.
Dew is notable only in the sense that he has self-funded his campaign to the tune of $250,000 (and raised $65).
NEXT.
Also of note: in nearby UT-03, Rep. Chris Cannon only leads former gubernatorial aide Jason Chaffetz by 39-37 in the GOP primary.

The L.A. Times blog has the story. Most blogs focused on the line that Mitt Romney may re-enter the race, but check this out: Mitt Romney’s son Josh may run for Congress!
After a full year of campaigning for his father around the country, Josh Romney, who is the only Romney clan member to reside in Utah, is reported to be considering a race for the House of Representatives as a Republican representing Utah’s 2nd Congressional District, a seat currently held by Democrat Jim Matheson.
In an interview with the Deseret Morning News to be published in Monday’s editions, the younger Romney acknowledges that he is considering the House race. “I’m pretty young,” he says, “but I’ve had good experience on the campaign trail.” He campaigned for his father all year and invested the summer visiting each of Iowa’s 99 counties.
So what do you guys think?
