Poll: Pastors say Mormons not Christians
NASHVILLE, Tenn. â Most pastors feel strongly that Mormons are not Christians, according to a survey by LifeWay Research.
The survey polled 1,000 American Protestant pastors and asked them to respond to the statement: "I personally consider Mormons (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) to be Christians."
Three-quarters (75 percent) disagree with the statement, including 60 percent who strongly disagree and 15 percent who somewhat disagree. Just 11 percent somewhat agree, 6 percent strongly agree and 9 percent do not know.
"Though pastors believe overwhelmingly that Mormonism is not Christianity, their opinions should not be confused with personal scorn for Mormons," said Ed Stetzer, president of LifeWay Research. "A person can respect a religious group and even appreciate their commitment to traditional moral values without equating their beliefs with Christian orthodoxy."

Mitt Romneyâs Mormon Faith: Polls Show Americans Are Suspicious of Mormonism
Even before Robert Jeffress, the pastor of the First Baptist Church of Dallas, warned those who attended last weekend's Values Voter Summit against voting for former Gov. Mitt Romney because of his affiliation with the "cultish" Church of Jesus Christ and Latter-day Saints, Romney's Mormon religion has ostracized him from the start of the GOP primary race.
The Republican primaries have been heavily influenced by the Tea Party -- and their largely conservative Christian supporters -- since candidates began throwing their hats into the ring earlier this year. Both former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, a longshot candidate who is also a Mormon, and Romney have been hindered by questions over their faith, something Romney also faced during his 2008 presidential run.
Jeffress' Comments Caused Stir
Questions regarding Romney's faith came to a head last week when Jeffress, while introducing Gov. Rick Perry, denounced Mormonism as a cult and said Romney is "not a Christian" as a result. While Jeffress' comments caused a stir among reporters and pundits alike, they apparently went over well with the audience at the Values Voter Summit. That is because many religious Americans are generally taught to be suspicious of Mormonism.
A September poll from the Brookings Institute, called "What It Means to be American," found that Americans are generally less tolerant of Mormons than other religious groups. Sixty-seven percent of those polled reportedly expressed favorable views of the Latter-day Saints, compared with 84 percent for Jews and 83 percent for Catholics.
Moreover, a June Gallup poll found that almost a quarter of Americans -- 22 percent -- are hesitant to support a presidential nominee who happens to be a Mormon, a figure largely unchanged since 1967. In contrast, only 10 percent of respondents said they would not vote for a Hispanic and fewer than 10 percent said they would not vote for a nominee who is Jewish, Baptist, Catholic, female or black.
I usually vote for the guy I think will represent our interests around the world and who will create domestic conditions that allow the next generation to live better than their parents, grandparents etc.
I've been burned by that method just once, George Bush. He started doing stuff his second term that I just despised. I'll never understand why he turned his back on conservatism at that point.
But mostly it has worked out.
Their religion, ancestry or pigmentation doesn't really come into it. I could/would have voted for Herman Cain if he hadn't turned out to have baggage regarding treatment of women.
I voted for our current Mayor who is an Iranian. He is doing a great job. Its about policy.
Mormanism is pretty weird. Show me a religion that isn't.
Obama --- only 31% of independents have favorable impression. Two thirds say he sucks on the economy.
Bernie Maddoff could defeat obama in a general election.

simply because there is more than one opponent at the moment.
Obama would be losing to any one opponent by a drastic amount right now.
two thirds of independents say he sucks on the economy...
That is an astoundingly bad situation for Obama and it shows you how smart independents are.
Doesn't work like that jem .Just because some independents are pissed with Obama doesn't mean they will vote for the GOP candidate.This poll includes independents ,some might thinks he sucks but that the gop sucks more
