Democratic Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams has pulled slightly ahead of GOP Rep. Mia Love in their tight congressional race, according to a New York Times Upshot poll.
It shows him ahead by two percentage points, 46-44 percent with 10 percent undecided — and a 5 percent margin of error. After weighting for demographics and people most likely to vote, the poll puts McAdams ahead by one percentage point.
That comes as some new controversy emerged Friday over how the Love campaign is helping the Utah Republican Party — which has teetered near bankruptcy in recent years — to afford mailers attacking McAdams.
