According to Gallup’s Frank Newport, the American public has not altered its views on the possibility of a Mormon
president for the past 44 years. When asked if they would vote for their party's candidate if they were Mormon, 18 percent of
respondents said they would not. That response varies only slightly from
the 17% who responded similarly in 1968. Additionally, of those who know
Romney’s faith, 9% said they would not vote for a Mormon. On the other hand, 29% of those who are
unaware of Romney’s faith would not vote for a Mormon. With Mitt Romney ramping up his campaign for the upcoming presidential
elections, it will be interesting to see how the electorate, which has never
seen a Mormon major-party nominee, will respond.
