Religious beliefs important to Republican voters
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Exit polls show most Georgia Republican presidential primary voters Tuesday thought it was important that a candidate share their political beliefs. The question may suggest Republican Mitt Romney had an uphill battle in Georgia since he’s a Mormon and the Mormon population in the state is relatively small. In the exit poll of Georgia Republican voters, 70 percent said it was important that a candidate share their religious views. About 75 percent of the Republican voters polled also expressed approval of U.S. war in Iraq. Also, 43 percent declared the state of the economy either excellent or good, while 57 percent declared it is not so good or poor.
