Very early polls, of course, since the election isn't for another 8 months. But the numbers look far worse for Rep. Chris Cannon than for Utah's other two Congressmen (Deseret News):

Of 200 people polled in the 3rd District March 17 through March 20, 30 percent support Cannon, 19 percent support Republican challenger David Leavitt and 4 percent are for Jason Chaffetz. Democrat Bennion Spencer received support from 12 percent of those polled, while 25 percent said they did not know whom they would support. [...]

Meanwhile, in the 1st District, 55 percent of those polled said they supported Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah, with 15 percent opting for Democratic challenger Morgan Bowen.

In the 2nd District, Rep. Jim Matheson, D-Utah, got 60 percent of the voters polled, with Republican opponent Merrill Cook getting the most support of his Republican challengers at 7 percent.

And Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon has them all beat (Deseret News):

If the election were held today, Corroon would win with 64 percent of the vote, according to a new Dan Jones & Associates poll conducted for the Deseret Morning News and KSL-TV.
