Opinion: The question of faith for candidates
Most of us think all young Mormon males wear short-sleeved white shirts and ride bicycles and we enjoy the 400 melodic voices that make up the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Ask us about Brigham Young and we’ll tell you he has a pretty good football team this year. But when two practicing Mormons want to be the president of the United States, we suddenly become experts on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Romney faces ‘stained glass ceiling’ with voters, study says
Americans who have only passing contact with Mormons are more likely to react to negative information about Mitt Romney and his faith and less inclined to buy into the counter, pro-Mormon argument, according to a new study. The research, by three political science professors, including one at Brigham Young University, contends that voters who know Mormons well (such as having a family member or close friend who is in the faith) tend to dismiss outside arguments about the religion, while those who have had no contact with Mormons were the "most persuadable" either for or against Romney and the Salt Lake City-based religion.
Mitt Romney's Mormon religion will have little impact in election
Mitt Romney's Mormon faith, considered to be a potential liability in his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, will likely have little consequence when voters go to the polls in November, according to a new survey. Sixty percent of voters who know Romney is Mormon say they are comfortable with that, while 19 percent say it doesn't matter, a recent poll by the Pew Research Center found.

Similarly, the Oklahoma statewide youth pageant and conference was a success before it officially started. LDS youth represent about one percent of students in Oklahoma's High Schools. That translates into kids in outlying areas that are the only members in their high schools. "Everyone knows I'm a member of the Church. They ask a lot of questions," Marisa Riddoch said. She's the only member in her high school of about 500 students. Three girls that have no LDS boys in their high school admitted that "It kinda stinks," but added, "It makes something like this really fun for us."

A week back in the United States, former ambassador to China Jon Huntsman Jr. on Sunday didn’t head to one of the six Mormon churches in the Charleston, S.C., area where he was visiting potential supporters and donors while deciding whether to launch a presidential bid.

Gallup chief: God is alive and well in America
Despite a deep drop in the number of Americans who identify with a particular faith, the country could be on the cusp of a religious renaissance, says Frank Newport, editor-in-chief of The Gallup Poll. Grounded in more than a million Gallup interviews, Newport’s new book, “God is Alive and Well,” argues that the aging of the baby boomers, the influx of Hispanic immigrants and the links between religion and health could portend a bright future for faith in America.
