New poll: John Curtis has commanding lead in 2024 GOP U.S. Senate primary race

Rep. John Curtis appears to have a big lead over his Republican rivals ahead of the June primary election in Utah’s U.S. Senate race, according to a new poll.

The survey, which queried 600 likely Utah Republican primary voters shortly after the Utah GOP’s state convention, gives Curtis 41% support. Riverton Mayor Trent Staggs, who triumphed over Curtis at last month’s state convention, was second with 14.5%. Former Utah House Speaker Brad Wilson received 9%, while Moxie Pest Control CEO Jason Walton received 1.5% in the survey. Of those surveyed, 33% were undecided.

The poll was commissioned by Conservative Values for Utah, a super PAC that has pumped nearly $4 million into the race to support the congressman’s Senate bid. The same group commissioned a poll late last year before Curtis officially entered the race, giving Curtis a similar level of support with 40%.
