Utah was admitted into the United States as the 45th state on January 4, 1896. It is the 13th-largest state by area and the 31st-most-populous with a population of approximately 3,051,217.  Because approximately 62% of Utahns are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), Utah is the only state with the majority of the population belonging to a single church (1). Based on a study done by Pew Research Center in 2014, about 84% of adults in Utah identify as Republican or have Republican leaning ideas and approximately 8% of adults identify as Democrats or have democratic leaning ideas, while 9% identify as neither or have no lean. (2)  Utah has 6 electoral votes and tends to consistently vote for the Republican presidential candidate.  Since the election of 1896, Utah has only voted for a democratic candidate 7 times, 4 of which being Franklin Roosevelt (1932-1944) (3). In the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump earned both the popular vote in Utah and their vote in the electoral college.  Utah has a population of 78.8% non-Hispanic White, 13.8% Hispanic or Latino, 2.5% Asian, 1.6% Native American and 1.4% African American (4).
