A poll last week showed that Latter-day Saints aren't viewed very favorably in America. Can a deeper dive into the poll's results give us any more insight into what's going on?
, on a Pew Research Center poll about how Latter-day Saints are viewed in America generated a lot of attention — and a lot of reader questions.
Of those responding negatively about Latter-day Saints, most felt only “somewhat unfavorable” rather than “very unfavorable.” The same can’t be said about atheists or evangelical Christians. online survey. It was easy to fill out and had a high response rate — which pollsters then again weighed to equal population benchmarks. It’s scientifically sound work.
Two notes here. First, the Protestant lines have been removed in this instance because the poll’s questions used different denominational definitions for Protestant groups. Interestingly, those who knew a Latter-day Saint were 9 percentage points more likely to have a favorable viewThat result was different than those seen in other religions. For those others, whether you knew someone in that specific group generally made it far more likely you would respond favorably to their religion as a whole.
Protestants, atheists and agnostics, meanwhile, all seem to have negative views of other religions other than Judaism. Catholics see other religions more positively, but still nowhere near as positively as Latter-day Saints.The final aspect of the poll examined the views of religious groups by political loyalties, separating Republican and Republican “leaners” from Democrats and Democratic “leaners.
