Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) leads Utah independent Senate candidate Evan McMullin by 15 points, according to a poll released Monday.
Lee leads McMullin 47 to 32 percent — 15 points — in an OH Predictive Insights poll. Five percent of likely voters would vote for someone other than Lee or McMullin, and 16 percent remain undecided.
The poll was conducted after the Club for Growth Action ran ads that highlighted McMullin’s history of disparaging Republicans as racist and bigots. In reaction to these ads, McMullin decided to file a lawsuit against the conservative action group.
Watch clips: “Evan McMullin, Running as an ‘Independent’ Against Mike Lee, Sounds Just Like a Democrat”:
The poll was released ahead of a debate Monday night between the sitting Utah conservative and the Never Trump candidate.
McMullin reportedly paid $1.6 million to Democrat firms and also uses the ActBlue Democrat fundraising platform to raise money for his mission to oust Lee.
Disgraced former FBI Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok also donated to McMullin’s campaign.

Mittens is deeply saddened.
Nobody likes this jerk but Romney. And nobody likes Romney.
Go Mike Lee. He’s not perfect but a damn sight better than any The left has to offer.
Mittens better be thinking about retirement.
Dems are running ads depicting this seat as a potential Dem pickup.
“Mittens better be thinking about retirement.”
I don’t think he ever intended to be anything but a one-termer. So he could be free to do as much damage as he wanted, without any possible comeuppance. Because that’s just how he is. A truly vile and insidious man, just like his father.
Anybody wonder if the 15 points will still lead to “Lee loses by 2% in final vote count.”?
Mike Lee is RINOish but glad to see him ahead.
When you think about it seriously, I suspect most local voters don’t know much more about Evan M. than we do.
We know of Evan McMullin primarily as an ex-CIA Agent who has run for high office numerous times and not yet won any election position. That is an interesting, but somewhat limited resume. He was a CIA Agent from 2001 til 2010. An investment banker for a year or two after that.
“Mike Lee is RINOish but glad to see him ahead.”
Yes, he’s for the most part a phony conservative.
But FAR better than the alternative.
Naw his magic underwear will keep Willard alive.
The RATs have been spamming Utah with lies about Lee. Wild lies. Typical lefties. Filth and scum.
I’m surprised that Evan McMuffin is still around!!!!
Senator Pierre Delecto is not gonna like this poll.
Actblue is the organization that hurricane relief donations were being directed to in Florida...
snip “Florida Rising Tweeted the fundraising link on September 29th, just a day after Hurricane Ian landed. The tweet claimed that the groups the funds would be going to are the same ones that assisted in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma and assured readers that the funds would help “prepare for the rebuilding and recovery.” However, the link provided, ianresponse.org, is housed by the tech platform ActBlue, according to a report by the Florida Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee (FRSCC). “ /snip
Hol up, lawsuit? For a campaign ad? Does this ever happen outside of spoiled vanity candidates? This is a first for me.
Recall that the J6 “documentary journalist” turned agent provocateur who CNN and MSNBC hired to agitate the crowd in the Capitol is also from Utah.
He isn't.
