From the article: Although three of four Americans say they would support a presidential candidate who is an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the Gallup Poll finds that 22% say they would not. That figure has not changed much since Gallup started measuring opinion on this subject in 1967. One difference comes by party: While 27% of Democrats say they would not support a Mormon for president, that figure is 20% for Republicans. Those rates may not sound like much, but they could tip a close election — and are likely to be somewhat understated because some poll respondents would be reluctant to admit to anti-Mormon bias.

"Anti-Mormon bias" = anti-worldview discernment. (Sorry, I don't vote for self-proclaimed "gods" for POTUS; nor candidates whose open beliefs deem us Christians to be apostates who adhere to 100% creeds of "abomination"...btw, abominable apostates is the "N" word equivalent for Christians...voters voting for true-propagandized Mormons would be like a black voting for a KKK member)

From the article: Five times as many voters would never consider voting for a Mormon (20%) as compared to a Catholic or a Baptist (4%). As for support, 50% would definitely consider a Catholic and 47% a Baptist, but only 30% would definitely consider a Mormon.

Only 30% of voters would definitely consider a Mormon candidate...and the RINOs want him as their candidate? What fantasyworld do they live in?

From the article: “While 85% of voters have heard of Mitt Romney, only 41% know he is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, aka Mormon, despite considerable publicity.

Just wait until the MSM runs its campaign to ensure the other 59% of America finds out that Romney is Mormon!

[proxy_user]

That 22% is probably most leftists who don’t like Mormons, and would never vote for a Republican anyway.

[Jedidah]

Has it occurred to anyone in the GOP that it might be unwise to oppose a semi-black man with a mormon, whose church taught for many years that blackness was a mark of sin?

[petercooper]

We would hear 1000 times a day that Romney’s great-grandfather had 5 wives.

[Diogenesis]

NRO Must PIMP their Romney.

Can't push any of his ideas
(RomneyCARE, Fees(Taxes), BIG-DIGs, proMexico, .......)
so they crawl under his skirt
where they feel at home
and plead, for the 10 trillionth time, the Mormon card.

[silverleaf]

the media is just holding off “educating” people about some of the tenets of mormonism until the day after Mittens is nominated

Then I suspect we will all be treated to accurate or inaccurate exposes about the sons of Cain and the planet Kolob, among other topics, and obama (and even Tom Cruise) will look mainstream by comparison

[Colofornian]

What I would like to hear from the "his Mormonism is immaterial" crowd...
...is to explain how Romney's socio-political viability as a Mormon candidate is somehow also immaterial...

It seems to me this crowd is always ignoring the elephant in the living room. They seem to keep saying, "Well, ya know on my corner of the living room, that elephant ain't botherin' me a bit."

[Utah Binger]

Most stupid line of the day.

Perhaps, but by Election Day a significant majority of voters will know Romney is a Mormon. I don’t think that should matter one bit. But it might.

That idiot doesn't know how quickly the MSM media will crucify Mr. dummy Romney once they get him up against their savior Obambi. That is the plan of the left. And what a time they will have with the pre 1978 material in addition to the polygamy issue. I will also bet that the MMM ordeal will be pinned on him as well. Not a good time to be a Mormon candidate in my opinion.

Romney’s religion problem is that nobody cares, so it can’t be used to deflect people from holding him accountable for Romneycare and his Planned Parenthood fundraising.

[SECURE AMERICA]

Romney’s problem is not religion.
It is that he is NOT a conservative and that he is basically a Washington insider type. We ain’t voting for that.....

[Keli Kilohana]

Mitt Mormony is Romin??

[stuartcr]

It seems to me that it’s not really his problem, as much as it is those that can’t accept his beliefs.

[Pollster1]

I’m totally indifferent to Romney’s alleged faith. Having known many Mormons who would be vastly better than Bush, Clinton, Romney, Obama, McCain, Gore, Kerry, or any of our other choices since Ronald Reagan, I would be thrilled to have the right Mormon in the White House. My problem with Romney is his values. He’s so dishonest and inconsistent about what he believes that it’s hard to be sure if he’s borderline socialist or a full-fledged socialist, but either way he’s not someone I can support. Mormonism? Not even on the radar screen.

[reaganaut]

I will never vote for Mittens for both reasons - He’s a RINO and he’s Mormon.

I know way too much about Mormonism to ever trust on in political office. I would never vote for a member of the LDS chruch because I know what they think, what they believe, and how hey feel about non-Mormons.

Add to that Mittens thinks he is fulfilling a prophecy of Joseph Smith and working towards godhood - no thanks.

As for support, 50% would definitely consider a Catholic and 47% a Baptist

That tells me that Carter screwed it up more for Baptists than Kennedy did for Catholics.
