A majority of the state's residents are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). As of 2007, 60.7% of Utahns are counted as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, although only 41.6% of them are active members.[9][10] Mormons now make up about 34%41% of Salt Lake City,[9] while rural areas tend to be overwhelmingly Mormon.Beyond that, you can look at the references or do your own googling for Utah demographics.
actually there are now more Exmormons in Utah than people who identify themselves as Mormon..
Plus only 15% of Mormons are temple Mormons...ie Mormons with temple recommends...they need that to be allowed to go to the temple, participate in the temple rituals, or to attend a wedding at the temple..
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
AuH2ORepublican said “the UT-02 represented by Matheson included part of SLC, but also a whole slew of rural counties.”
while PapaBear3625 said “Mormons now make up about 34%41% of Salt Lake City,[9] while rural areas tend to be overwhelmingly Mormon.”
so it was the Mormons in the rural areas who elected the Democrat Matheson and kept reelecting him for 5 more terms...
Interesting eh what ???
In a PRESIDENTIAL election (it's the STATE total that counts.
(You do realize that INSIDE that 60.7 number is ALL of SLC's voters; right?)
