The survey asked registered Utah voters “How would you describe your feelings about the incoming President Trump administration?” 24 percent of respondents said they feel “very optimistic.” 35 percent said they feel “somewhat optimistic.”

40 percent of Utahns feel either “very” or “somewhat pessimistic” about a Donald Trump presidency. The remaining two percent didn’t have an opinion.
