Share of Latter-day Saints who identify as Republican differs little by demographic subgroup
% of Latter-day Saint adults (Mormons) who identify as Republicans or Republican leaners
* The survey sample for this question included 151 interviews with Latter-day Saints who are converts to the church, with an effective sample size of 60 and a 95% confidence level margin of error of plus or minus 12.7 percentage points. This margin of error conservatively assumes a reported percentage of 50%. Bars in this graphic show margins of sampling error at a 95% confidence interval for each specific estimate.
Note: The only statistically significant differences in this graphic are the breaks by region and comparing lifelong Latter-day Saints with converts. The Mountain region includes Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming.
