24% Non-Religious for Democrats surprised me, even for the West.

Ex-Mormons. Almost all become Democrats in a state with hardly any Democrats so they make up a fairly large percentage. The surprising thing is that the non-Mormon Christians appear to be so overwhelmingly Democratic.

Utah could be the only state where Christians are more Democratic than non-Christians. Smiley

What makes you think that?  I'm not sure what numbers to calculate to determine it...

Then again, Utah has an unusually Republican non-religious population (Bush hit 1/3), so I guess it's possible.  Still, its Catholics may wreck that a bit (although they are pretty Hispanic?)  There are very few mainline Prots.

Speaking of that, what's with CNN's exit poll saying Utah is 3% white conservative Prot when Mormon was counted as Prot? Huh
