Salt Lake City, UT, October 28, 2026 —
A Deseret News/Hinckley Institute of Politics survey indicates that voters in Utah and nationally are unsure about potential presidential nominees for 2028. Neither the Republican nor Democratic Party has a clear frontrunner, according to the survey summary.
The findings point to uncertainty about who could emerge as each party’s nominee. The summary does not identify specific potential candidates or provide figures showing how many voters are undecided. It also does not specify when the survey was conducted or describe its methodology.
The survey summary identifies the upcoming midterm elections as a factor expected to shape the future political landscape. It does not detail how the elections might affect the 2028 nomination contests, or provide specific projections about their outcomes.
The available information offers a broad snapshot rather than a detailed account of voter preferences. It does not include state-by-state comparisons, party-specific levels of support, or information about how views may differ among voter groups. As a result, the survey summary establishes that uncertainty is present among Utah and national voters but does not indicate which potential nominees, if any, are gaining support.
Further details about the survey, including its sample size, dates and question wording, were not provided in the summary. Without those details, the findings cannot be assessed beyond the broad conclusions stated: voters are unsure about possible 2028 nominees, neither major party has a clear frontrunner, and the midterms are expected to influence the political landscape ahead.
