You know the Republicans have really stepped in it when even folks in Utah (where President Obama garnered just under 25 percent of the vote in 2012) begin to turn against you.
According to a new Deseret News/KSL poll, 56 percent of Utahns disagreed it was worth shutting down the government over Obamacare and just 37 percent agreed. The poll also showed that almost half of those surveyed disapprove of the tea party's influence on the shutdown, and more than one-third disapprove of Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, who won his 2010 race with 62 percent of the vote.
