Only 7% of Utahans are evangelical. It also has a relatively high percentage of non-religious, though I'm guessing most of these are probably ex-Mormons and their descendants.

Also, FWIW Obama got around 19% of the Mormon vote in 2008, though that was probably near the high-water mark for a Democrat in UT, and a feat he's obviously not going to replicate this year. Mormons made up 75% of the electorate in Utah, depsite making up only 60% of the state's population. Working backwards using algebra, that means Obama had to have gotten around 79% of the non-Mormon vote to get him to 34% of the vote.

Of course all this begs another question: why do Mormons have such high turnout?

I wonder which state has the largest number of liberal white evangelicals (however those are defined, of course. Tongue )

Somewhere up North, I would wager. Vermont maybe?
