Dan Jones Autobiography

The Oracle of Utah Politics
Dan Jones: A Pollster’s History
Written by Morgan Lyon Cotti

For over six decades, the name Dan Jones was synonymous with polling and politics in Utah. His obsession with accuracy earned him the respect of an entire state and his intuition led him to encourage more than a few of Utah’s most respected and successful politicians to run for office. While generations of politicians relied on Dan’s advice and prognostications, his experiences and knowledge provided a rich political history of the last six decades’ behind-the-scenes events. This text recounts the political history of that time through the eyes of Utah’s most prolific pollster.
