If the 2020 November election for the President of the United States were being held today who would you vote for? - Other, please specify: - Text
the democratic nominee, depending on who it was, or a third party
A conservative or moderate candidate, but I will not vote for Trump
Too soon to make this decision but not trump
The best candidate which would never include trump, the slime beneath the scum of the earth.
It depends on the candidate but NOT Trump
If a rep could beat Trump otherwise democraye
anyone who would abolish the two party system.
I would love to vote for a moderate democrat, or a republican who is not so radical and ignorant like our current president. I’m a registered republican but I absolutely hate the state of the Republican Party in the US right now. I’m also not really a democrat, and I feel like there is no one who represents me. I highly approve of republicans like senetor Romney who are not afraid to vote across party lines on important issues. I’ve actually written to the senator twice to tell him of my approval.
Doesn’t matter because is a lock for Trump.
99% chance of a democrat, but they may nominate someone I don't like
I don't know who else will run. I don't vote for the party!
I’m waiting to see and learn about all candidates before making my decision
Trump--to help bring HARM to this country
Likely a 3rd party candidate but considering Pres. Trump because of some of the extreme positions of the democrats currently which scares me.
Mitt Romney, or another Republican besides Trump
Whoever would dismantle the electoral college
At this point I would vote for my dog. The choice between Republican shill or democratic coward isn’t looking too promising
An independent statesman, if there are any to be found.
You can count my vote when it is time to vote. Stop asking that.
Most likely 3rd party like I did last time
I have to review who they are and see what their platforms stand for
Not Donald, I’d like to see more candidates listed but democrats don’t have it right either
Do not know yet, would not vote for Trump
Myself , I can turn this around just to broke to do so
The best future candidate, but not Donald Trump
I am looking for the nominee who can take this country in the right direction and he probable needs to be a democrat
hopefuly trump will die in office and Mike Pence will finish the term and be reelected as president and mitt romney as vice president
I don't know who the democrat nominee is, so therefore I cannot blindly mark that box. I will choose the best candidate, but it will not be Donald Trump.
Not Trump but also don’t favor some dems
I need to see and hear everyone that is running before making that decision
Dont know, definitely not trump or anyone with his ideals
The person I feel would best lead our country, whether republican or democrat or third party.
Interesting that you are stating that Trump will undoubtedly win the Republican Primary. What kind of question is this?
The party system is outdated. There are many brilliant moral people who could run
This is a ridiculous and leading question. I will vote for the best candidate regardless of party.
It would totally depend on the nominees. But chances are my values would align with an independent third party.
The future Democratic nominee, if it is Joe Biden. Otherwise, I am undecided.
It’s too soon to decide. I haven’t seen anyone I would support at this time
Depending on who the Democratic nominee is
Maybe a Republican other than Donald Trump or 3rd party
Future Democratic Party or third party Candidate
I can not form an opinion without knowing whose running

If the November 2020 election for U.S. House of Representatives were held today, would you vote for the Republican candidate, the Democrat candidate, or someone else? - Other, please specify: - Text
Someone who does the job. The house is the worst I have ever seen it's more about fighting than resolution
I’m not hung up on party. I’ll vote for who I feel good about based on their stances and actions
anyone who would abolish the two party system.
depends on who is most in line with my ideals
I vote for the individual, not the party
Someone that will not be partisan and has the US future strongly in mind!
Somebody with the same views as myself at the moment.
I don’t vote by party. I vote by the qualifications of the people running.
who ever displays common sense and honest values. someone like Trey Gowdy
Whoever would stand with president Trump
depends on candidate's qualifications and record
Whoever would strip the system down and rebuild it
It depends on who the individual is, party loyalty does more harm than good
Best person for the job the parties do not matter
I'm not a party voter, I vote for the most needed candidate
Whoever is bipartisan. No more party politics
Anyone supporting legalizing marijuana and Healthcare reform
Party system is outdated. I would vote for the most qualified
I don’t vote parties, I vote for the best candidates
I tend to vote for the person rather than party
Who ever best represents the overall beneficence of their constituency.
Usually Republican but would have to see who it is
Need to read up on their ideas before deciding
Prefer not to vote for major party, to much control / power
It depends who the candidates were and what they stand for. I don't vote party.
Depends on policies, personality, ethics, and ideas of candidate.
Someone who voted for the issues not the party politics
I can not form an opinoni without knowing who's running
Republican but has to support President Trump

Below are some reasons why people might think it is important for the Salt Lake Tribune to stay in business. Which, if any of these reasons, explains why it is important to you for the Salt Lake Tribune to stay in business? Select all that apply. - Other,
Diversity is important but the Trib has it's bias
Local news helps inform the government and the people
There has to be some factual basis to print stories in newspapers. That’s why we need good reporters.
Open. Press is very important. The Tribune brung balance.
Various points of view are a good thing.
I always think it is good to have a balance in the news sources available
Source for current local news and events.
I think it is important due to freedom of speech and accessibility to information.
It’s always better to read more than one opinion. Newspapers are not any more objective than any other medium.
It is not run by the church so it has more relevant information
Some people like to read, more reliable.
The press provides an important source of transparency and accountability.
I just think newspapers are important. If we could get a decent daily in St. George we would
We need balanced views on all things covered in a newspaper
The Tribune is no better at holding the LDS church accountable AND the Trib has yet to show the mormons have done anything illegal or immoral. And minority?? Are you talking about democrats?? Does New York give a voice to Republicans? How about California or Oregon?? Booohooo for the dems, LOL!
The people of SLC need a good informative newspaper.
While it is very agenda friven it is good to have local papers for the communities to speak. The slt usually doest take that into consideration. It thinks it is an opinion paper. It eill do better if it stays NEWS paper
I think many of your statements are offensive. A newspaper doesn't hold religions or politicians accountable, people, laws and the courts do. Why don't they hold the Catholic, Baptist etc accountable? Why don't the hold theives, pornographers, rapist or murderers acvountable? Because they don't have that kind of power. The news is to report honestly and with integrity the voice of all people and not be caught up in over powering the people they serve. Just the comments made here make me never want to have a subscription. I expect more from a newspaper than slander, bias and bigotry. How can I trust that reports on the LGBTQ are true for a family member, a report on my sitter in laws religion the baptists or if my adopted native american children are being treated fairly if you think you are the ones to control a church or a politican
It's always good to have competition and keeping the Tribune in business should hold Des News in check.
I think all forms of sharing are good. it would be sad to lose any new source
It helps to learn about issues from different perspectives
Must report news & stay out of the fray. Do not tell me how to vote
Salt lake tribune provide a counter balance to the prevailing Conservative mind set
Multiple local news outlets are important.
It is a combination of all of the above, not just one of them
Jobs. I don't trust that the LDS church has nothing to do with them. The rest of that is not true.
It's important to have a variety of opinions/voices.
SL Trib is not the ONLY paper that hold politicians accountable but it is definitely one of them. I think good, responsible news outlets are invaluable and the SL Trib does a great job.
Freedom of the press is essential to a healthy republic
We need media to hold government accountable
I think that tangible newspapers should cease to exist because of the internet.
We need a free press to speak for the majority
I actually avoid it--thejournalists and topics are biased haters. I don't find it relevant news anymore.
The Tribune offers a balanced alternative to the more conservative-leaning Deseret News
Diversity of opinions and perspectives are important
It's important for people to have access to news
We need local newspapers to be watchdogs in local issues. Ie Pulitzer Prize waned by the Trib for covering abuses against women at BYU and Utah State.
people need options for where they get their news
It is important that the newspaper companies stay alive because it is a form of information to a specific group of people. It takes a lot of effort to write a news article.
Im not sure any of the reasons are completely accurate. And I admit my hypocrisy. i think the age of newpapers is over. And partly because people, like me, can find what we need to know for free. BUT, as long as there is a Deseret News, perhaps there should also be a Salt Lake Tribune.
It's good to have a wide-ranging set of viewpoints, even if those viewpoints differ from one's own viewpoint.
A vibrant and diverse media is healthy for democracy
Another voice, another opinion. We need many opinions.
Most unbiased journalism. Does not place as much emphasis on political points of view.
A news outlet is important, but the slant on issues need be carefully scrutinized.
I think local paper still gives a different perspective than social media or TV coverage
Tribune has gotten so awful that I now subscribe to NY Times
Any and all newspapers are where anyone can find all historical events that they are able to clip and pate manually without having to click any electronic devices or fighting with the internet. More people in the U.S than you people realize don't have the means to benefit from the internet.
Competition is helpful to keeping the truth
We need differing points of views and perspectives
Like having different perspectives and opinions on current events, even if I disagree with them
Good to have balanced news. Unfortunately all news is polarized. The truth is in the middle.
It's important to have as many sources to draw information from before making conclusions
I feel that independent businesses are important.
most newspapers lean left, thats why they go out of bussiness.
Competing views are always in the best interest of everyone in a democracy. What the LDS Church did this year to citizens who voted for medical marajaunia for sick and the dying by tell state legislators how to vote and singing. Maybe they should have been arrested for protesting and disrupting the people's business? votes in Utah should cause them to loose thier non-profit statis because that violatesple how to vote. laws telling peoverturn should be available both conservative and progressive so people have a choice. Online ad revenue should help.
Why would want to the LDS church accountable.
People need to know what is going on. Even if they don't have access to electronic media.
It provides another perspective, usually dishonest and slanted, but it’s another opinion.
It is good to have a voice that is not digital in nature. We need stories that have been researched .
Peter Huntsman & the rest of the family need to do some deep soul searching!
The newspaper can reach a large demographic
It doesn’t seem that any newspaper is holding the LDS Church accountable, nor does any paper speak for Utah’s minorities. Still, I would trust it over the Deseret News.
So that those who don’t have access to the internet or tv have a way to get news.
Alternate perspectives are always needed
There needs to be multiple people telli g the story so that people can research the truth.
I support newspapers in general staying in business.
If tghe SLT were balanced, the paper could prove to be valuable. As it stands now, the paper is too far left so I read the Wall Street Journal.
It's important to have a local newspaper
It gives a voice for opinions of others but by no means is better than desert news
It is biased but we need newspapers and we need them to be fair and give opinions of both sides. I don't know if it ever prints positive stories about President Trump so it should be honest and say what is good as well as what is bad.
There are still people who have no access to news other than in a newspaper
The more local newspapers SLC has the more news that can be reported on.
I think it is sad that news paper would have a reputation for holding a faith group accountable people choose to participate in a faith group or they don't there for the people decide what they accept or reject i think it is sad that a faith group would be targeted
I think newspapers are important. We can not a get one delivered in southern utah
I have a hard nothing if what they print is true
SL Trib is one of many tools necessary to keep the public informed. Multiple sources/opinions provide a fuller view of the actual truth.
Their has to be some truth to what can be printed. Reporters hold people accountable
We need a newspaper to line our bird cages with
It is important for the people of SLC to have a goof paper. f
More voices and opinions are good for the populace
Just another paper, no particular reason they should stay in business, but would be sad to see them go.
Print form is crucial in our nation and helps to maintain the awareness and balance of all views
If closes it would cause a great many people their jobs
Maybe the Trib is not the ONLY newspaper to spaeak for the minority in Utah, but it is the strongest in this regard.
This is a terrible survey and you all should be ashamed
Its an additional avenue to educate the public
SLT is largest & capital city paper, non-religious. Other papers also hold politicians accountabe, &c. But the SLT is uniquely important
Although I don't have time to read the Trib daily, I continue to subscribe in order to support their efforts to keep our local newspaper alive.
Utah will have a difficult time convincing organizations such as the international Olympic committee to come here if we don’t have anything holding people in power accountable to the people. SLC will be a joke.
Living in this state, it is hard to think that the SLT can hold politicians or LDS accountable.The church runs the state and the LDS make sure the LDS politicians secure the spots running the State's affairs. It's not so different than the Trump regime.
I think it’s important for SLC to have both the Trib and D. News. They equal each other out.
The SLTrib does fantastic reporting, and they've done a great job at holding institutions accountable. I don't like the options in this survey because they use the word "only". For example, KUTV has done some great reporting on the Church and holding them accountable, and I consider it to be a trustworthy source. While I do believe that the SLTrib does speak for the minority in Utah, and it is indeed trustworthy, and it does indeed hold the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints accountable, and it certainly holds politicians accountable; it certainly isn't the ONLY paper that does that, or that has the ability to do that, haha.
Good to have competition. Although I don’t like the Tribune
local media that goes in depth is the best way to get people to be educated in how community is important in their life
Because There is no other large legit paper in Utah. The Deseret news is nothing but a Mormon Tabloid that waters down the news. That's if on certain days they can even figure what is news in Utah.
I havn't read the Tribune for many years now. Traditionally it has been all of the above, however with the new political climate I don't know if PC politics skew the papers view now. If it does its only good for starting camp fires imo. If it remains the same as decades past then its worthy of remaining an excellent news source.
It provides another source and viewpoint
It’s another source of news besides tv, Internet etc
We need 2 papers, Mormon money will.always keep the Dnews profitable
It's a viewpoint. The best one for me? Haven't read it, so I can't say. People need varying viewpoints, though, so it needs to stay.
It is important to keep society informed of what is happening in our state whether its politics, state issues, education or what is going on in the world to keep public informed.
It is important reputable papers keep reporting
I don’t like the Trib because it is to liberal. Reporters write the news according to what party they belong too & mostly libs!
A good paper - but becoming more partisan. Still my choice for most objective news.
City needs news not managed by LDS church
It’s needed to hold the politicians and LDS church accountable but not the “only” one that should be
We need multiple people reporting and writhing about local stories. the challege is who and how and where people are reading .
SLTribune is a bit to liberal for me, but it is good to hold organizations accountable, but it must be able to maintain it's viable private business platform
Just like it’s important to still have books to read we need to be able to have something that doesn’t rely solely on electronic devices
I think som people don’t have access to internet for new. I would still take the paper but after over 20 years of delivery, they dropped my service because I was 3 months late. I had alway payed in in 3 month increments.
Many people ONLY read local news so there needs to be an outlet for that.
Nationwide, we must always support a free press.
I believe the media has it's place, I trust the Tribune, just wish they didn't have to charge for online access.
Salt Lake Tribune offers a liberal viewpoint in a locally conervative saturated market.
The Tribune offers an alternate voice but should not be the only information source.
It’s good to read all sides of a story to get the truth. I don’t solely read the tribune and neither should anyone else. We need a variety of news not only one side and all of these answers are biased so the paper is pandering to someone’s biases. Why would anyone only get their news from one paper. Stay open because we need another voice but I’m not going to only subscribe to the tribune and I don’t align my thoughts with any of the above answers
I see the importance of newspapers as getting deeper into a news story than other types of media.
I believe the Tribune does a good job of accurately covering local issues. I think that journalism is needed.
The press is an important part of our constitution (bill of rights); we need journalists as a check on everything--business, religious and political influences. However, the Trib is not (and should not) be the ONLY source of accountability.
It is important to have variety in the press.
We need to be able to read a variety of points of view
All angles of political events should be explored
they provide the pulse of the local community
News media needs an outlet. Some people rely only on printed news.
The free press is a vital part of our democratic institutions
The Salt Lake Tribune seems to historically favor no bias/slight left bias.
Counterpoint to LDS Deseret News. Diffeeent point of view.
Gives an opinion usually contrasting to state norms (LDS)
A newspaper should be fair in its reporting/
It is a good source for local news. Also it keeps you up to date on the crime, corruption, political scams. It is also the best way for a citizen to reach the public with reporting what the local government is doing under the table, such as when Herbert was doing the pay for play. I really hate in people hold their self out a rightous and then betray the public trust like most of them do. If you really want to sell papers let people in the public reach you with the corruption they are aware of and decide wither it is worth following.
It's tangible and can be read at our leisure
Just hate seeing businesses go out of business
You got to put your Thoughts into Free Press ? The Freedom Of Speech ? Deseret News is Pretty much LDS Corp. No Real Free Speech There ! Internet is Killing Newspapers. If People Spent Half Of what is Spent on Internet? They wouldn’t crash or Close doors ! Mormons pay for Deseret Papers , Because Church Behind Them , in my Opinion only !
The Tribune focuses on issues that are not covered by other papers and it provides more in depth coverage of issues
Different views of issues in different mediums
Only if it reports the news, with no agenda one way or the other! Otherwise, get rid of it!
It's important that different voices are available to the public
we need independent journalist to hold government accountable
important to have several sources for information from newspapers, news stations, social media, international reports, etc. No one source is a best source but rather several sources give a comprehensive viewpoint and picture that is not skewed. I would never rely on one source for my news. Multiple sources and viewpoints and my own research based on primary sources are the best way to aggregate news.
I don't like the salt Lake Tribune, that's why I think it should stay in business. It is important to have a news resource that presents information in a way that is different than other news outlets. It's important to have a choice. Just as long as the information is truthful.
I don't like the first option. Don't feel any paper should hold any religion or beliefs RRESPONSIBLE. Newspapers should report just facts and do so objectivly without bias or an agenda.
We need newpapers for the members of the community that do not have regular access toTV/Online News
It’s good to have different news avenues to look at. We need ways of being able to get the news.
It often provides another point of view on the issues.
I care about fair, objective, unbiased news with a variety of opinions. While I value what the Trib brings to the table, I feel the emphasis on living up to its self-proclaimed role as the "watchdog" often comes at the expense of objectivity and introduces bias.
There should always be varied options available for people to read and judge by
The rest of the answers/options were laughable!

Generally speaking...do you think of yourself as a Republican, a Democrat, an independent or something else? - Other, please specify: - Text
I vote for the person that represent me and the country or state. Not a party.
I don’t use parties to make decisions in voting. I vote off individual, stance, and action
Not affiliated with any particular party
Was a republican, now I’m not sure, but I’m certainly leaning left.
Republican in name only because I'm more Libertarian and Independent than most Republicans
Conservative for the person regardless of claimed party
democraps and repubicants, are just words. but where they started and who started them is more important to their values. democrats=kkk,slave owners,bad politicians. repubican=freed black slaves started the party in the 1840s abriham lincon was the first republican pres. shot by a demo, that then led to a demo house senate and pres. and jim crow laws. and it continues. ive posted all this here as its the only place to actually put my pen to paper. this site, is a false and bad site. does not allow for actual representation. get ready for the pain. 2020
Republican in name only because I am more Libertarian and more Independent than most Republicans
Whoever benefits us as a society most, parties are dumb
Useally a Democrat but I also consider Independent Candidates
I don't affiliate with a political party
Alway vote best candidate and issue however usually republican
Group ideology is limiting.. I have liberal and conservative view points.
I'm certainly independent in my thinking, but I'm a member of the United Utah Party.
I hate the 2 major parties and always vote for the person who most aligns with my beliefs regardless of party
Usually republican but currently it seems every party is more interested in the party than what is right
A Republican for now. May soon become an independent
I don't want to be affiliated with a party
I vote for people with principles who address issues based on principles, not circumstance regardless of the "party" they belong to.
Republican permanently changing to Democrat because of horrendous Republican policies and rhetoric

What does it matter? I'm sick of insisting on color lines.

Racial questions can only be used to discriminate so I don't answer these.
Caucasian, African American, Native American
