Are there any presidents from Utah?

No, there has not been one yet. In 2012, the Republican nominee for president was a Mormon (Mitt Romney). His father, George Romney, tried to get the Republican nomination in 1964 and 1968, but was not successful.

Answer 4

Yes, there is a U.S. President with a connection to Utah:

Connection to Utah: Benson was a prominent member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and was involved in politics in Utah, although he was never President of the United States. His association with Utah is notable, but he did not serve as President.
