Click photo to enlargeMitt Romney (The Associated Press)«1»WASHINGTON - Many pundits have said that presidential candidate Mitt Romney's Mormon faith will be a hindrance to his 2008 bid, but a new poll shows that voters believe he is more religious than any of the other contenders out there. A Time magazine poll hitting newsstands this week asked voters whether each candidate is a "person of strong religious faith." One in four voters say that Romney is, more than Barack Obama, John Edwards, Hillary Clinton, John McCain and Rudy Giuliani. Previous polls have all shown that a distinct swath of voters - especially on the Republican side - say Romney's faith in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints makes them less likely to support his White House bid. The Time poll shows that 73 percent of GOP voters say his Mormon faith makes no difference to their vote, but 23 percent say it makes them worry. Still, his supporters are thrilled with the fact that Romney is viewed as a religious person.

A huge ping for our man Mitt, the one candidate with the Midas touch!
This speaks volumes about Time's complete lack of understanding of religion and God.
Huckabee’s actually a preacher. Plus, in addition to Christianity, he has embraced the “healthy lifestyle” religion, which can be just as evangelical. Romney has Michigan roots, IO wonder if he’s an Amway distributor, too? That would push him ahead.
The same kinds of polls were taken during president Bushes campaign. Were they too disingenous?
This poll was about the respondents’ belief/perception, not whether they (the candidates) are actually religious or not. Justified or not, people usually do have their perception about a person’s religiosity. Mitt, for whatever reasons, give the impression that he is a religious man.
And in the even LONGER run, Eternity, how will he fare?
...a new poll shows that voters believe he is more religious than any of the other contenders out there.
THESE guys are 'believed' to be even MORE 'religious'!!
They are ALWAYS shouting - "GOD is Great" in their native tongue: 'Allah Akbar'.
Still, his supporters are thrilled with the fact that Romney is viewed as a religious person.
Has he said what his policy would be, dealing with them folks above?
“Khomeini is a religious man like me, and I know how to talk to a man of God.” - Jimmy Carter
Of course he has not. He is full of words without plans.
Huckabee, as much as many of us may like him, isn’t a top tier candidate and hasn’t a prayer.
Yeah, right, Mormons = radical Muslims. You lose all credibility with such a post.
Your hatred of Mormons has rendered you totally and completely irrational. No person of sound mind is going to take you seriously. But keep posting. You do wonders for the Romney campaign.
If you read the whole poll, the same people that said Romney was the most religious Republican picked Osama Obama as the most religious Demonrat.
A Muslim and a Mormon. I wonder why the pollsters picked a group that would choose anyone but a Christian?
Midas Mitt is a far more apt nick name! : )
Go to your room! It's too early for that!!
I LOVE the COFFEE ad at the beginning of the mormon promoting thread, ROTFL!
Who said that? Perhaps you missed Elsie's question?
"Has he said what his policy would be, dealing with them folks above?"
FIPING
The picture of shouting Muslims posted by Elsie is a clear, but ludicrous implication.
