Utahns still really want to host another Olympics, according to a new Deseret News/Hinckley Institute of Politics poll.

Support for bringing a Winter Games back to the state that held them in 2002 has reached 82%, with more than half of Utahns, 55%, saying they strongly approve hosting the Olympics again.

As Utah’s efforts to land the 2030 or 2034 Winter Games continue, just 12% of Utahns disapprove of another Winter Games coming to the state, including 7% who strongly disapprove, while another 6% aren’t sure how they feel.
