A Mormon for President? Voters Balk
"More than twice as many say they'd oppose a Muslim or a Latter-day Saint than a Jew or a Catholic. Mitt Romney could have a problem."
This link is to a recent poll reported in the LA times. The two interesting findings were that over half of those polled said that they would not vote for a Muslim for President and over one third said they would not vote for a Mormon. Nowhere have I read that those polled were "likely voters." I think that questions in a nationwide poll about whether one would vote for a Mormon says much about Governor Romney's viability as the GOP candidate for the Presidency. On the other hand, the results do not sound good for Governor Romney.

I don't think this polling represents ANY kind of trouble for ROmney. The voters in our country will be well versed in Romney and realized that he is solid on the issues; that he is a strong leader. Mormonism will fade away as an issue and Romney should do a good job at diffusing this.
I think this is just a poll to find out the religions that people are uncomfortable with (hey, if you didn't know any mormons and your preacher told you in summer bible school that Mormons are a cult . . . then you sure wouldn't want some unknown Mormon as your president!)
