USA Today: Gallup Poll shows reluctance for Mormon president

Americans appear hesitant to vote for a Mormon as president, a new poll shows, posing a challenge for Republicans Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman.

Although three of four Americans say they would support a presidential candidate who is an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the Gallup Poll finds that 22% say they would not.

That figure has not changed much since Gallup started measuring opinion on this subject in 1967.
