State polls:
Oklahoma (Sooner): Trump 53, Clinton 29 (nothing to see here)
Utah (Hinckley/Salt Lake Tribune): Clinton 36, Trump 35 (whaaaaaaa?)

Before we get all in a tizzy over this, it's a single poll and doesn't show that Utah is a battleground--but it may show Trump's difficulties with Mormon voters, which is an issue that could bleed over into a real swing state, Nevada.
Mormons have shown themselves to be remarkably Trump-resistant. Strong relational communities and families, religious service attendance, and fairly high youth employment are part of the cure to Trumpism.
