First Family values win over LDS
A new poll shows that Mormons, though they trail other religious groups, like President Barack Obama. The Gallup poll puts the president’s approval among LDS members at 45 percent, with 40 percent disapproving. Adam Brown, a BYU political science professor, says Obama's Mormon support is striking:
Is it any surprise that Mormons, who lean Republican by a wide margin, would have the lowest approval of Obama? What’s remarkable about the Gallup results isn’t that ‘only’ 45 percent of Mormons approve of Obama, but rather that an overwhelmingly right-leaning bloc gives him a net positive approval rating.
Ken Stiles, a BYU political science professor says it may be the First Family that is winning normally conservative Mormons over to Obama:
It’s possible that his exemplary family has won over a few who see him as a potential role model.
