But WHO???
while finding backup for that 95% figure you requested
i also found info for three or four more articles for FR concerning Romney's candidacy
i used the two most interesting titles for discussion...Lockstep Voters Helped Clinch Arizona Victory for Romney and Fair to Compare Mormons for Romney to Blacks for Obama?...ya'll come...
" Backfire. Oops. " yeah...oops...lol
Well, here's the data I've posted for a while on the 95% Mormon support of Romney...[keep in mind what kind of frenzy the MSM would have if 95% of Catholics supported either Santorum or Gingrich...the Pope would be accused of orchestrating it all!!! Theocratic and Theocracy would be even more all the rage in MSM outlets!]
Per this 2008 exit poll data:
* 2008 (Utah) "While the former Massachusetts governor’s faith has been a flashpoint in his campaign, it was perhaps one of his strongest assets in Utah, where more than 60% of the state’s residents share his faith. Exit poll data shows Romney swept voters across the board, handily winning every social, economic, and generational demographic in the state, as well as 94% of all Mormon voters." (Susan Davis, Wall Street Journal, Feb. 5, 2008, Romney Wins Utah With Help From Friends [Note: The Wall Street Journal was citing MSNBC.msn.com...]
* 2008 (Nevada) Per the Mormon Church, Mormons make up about 7.5% of Nevada's population. But according to the entrance polls so far, a whopping 25% of those who participated in the state's GOP caucuses are Mormons. And 94% of those people went with Romney.

* 2008 (Arizona and Nevada): In the Nevada Republican caucuses last cycle, entrance polls found that a quarter — 26 percent — of participants were Mormons and 95 percent supported Romney. He won the state handily. The numbers were also impressive in Arizona, where exit polls showed 11 percent of voters were Mormon and 88 percent of them voted for Romney...

* 2012 (Nevada): According to exit polls conducted for the Associated Press, nine of 10 Mormon voters in Nevada supported Romney.

Now...to illuminate those who don't think Utah Mormons have been engaging in sheer "identity politics," all ya gotta do is look at this exit-poll tidbit from '08:
Exit poll data from Tuesday's primary elections showed Utah Republican voters cared more about presidential candidates' PERSONAL QUALITIES THAN THEIR POSITIONS ON THE ISSUES, the OPPOSITE OF THE NATIONAL TREND of the national trend in Super Tuesday voting.
