Provo Mayor John Curtis' lead is shrinking in 3rd District race

Provo Mayor John Curtis’s lead in the GOP primary race to replace former Rep. Jason Chaffetz is narrowing amid a barrage of attacks by groups supporting his opponents.

A new poll for UtahPolicy.com, conducted by Dan Jones & Associates, shows Curtis with 31 percent support, followed by 23 percent for former state Rep. Chris Herrod and 15 percent for businessman Tanner Ainge.

A sizeable 26 percent are still undecided as the by-mail election is proceeding before the official Election Day on Tuesday. The poll, conducted Aug. 2, 3 and 8, has a margin of error of 4.
