The 59% of Mormons who identify as conservative is the largest such percentage of any major religious group included in this analysis. The next-most-conservative group are Protestants (including non-Catholic Christians), with 46% identifying as conservative. (This review does not include analysis of specific denominations into which Protestants can be subdivided, of which there are hundreds.) Thirty-nine percent of Catholics are conservative. Less than a quarter of Jews, Muslims, those who identify with other religions, and those with no religious identity identify as conservatives.

I thought that all non Catholic Christians come under Protestant, which non Catholic Christians are not Protestants? The least Gallup could have done would be to separate the largest Protestant church (Southern Baptist), if they are going to make a big deal about Mormons.

Seeing Catholic compared to everything Protestant is vague enough, but to do that when you are going to include a group as small as Mormon makes the report useless.
