Poll: Evangelicals Prefer Mitt To Prez

While white, evangelical Protestants are more likely than the general public to view Mormonism as a non-Christian faith — and less likely to support Mitt Romney — a majority of those voters are willing to back Romney in a general election run against President Obama, a new survey by the Pew Research Center finds. In Pew's survey, they find Romney trailing Newt Gingrich and Herman Cain among white, evangelical Protestants, over half of whom believe Mormonism is not a Christian faith. The former Massachusetts governor does lead the rest of the Republican field by double digits among mainline Protestants, and edges out Cain and Gingrich among white Catholics/Justin Sink, The Hill.

Question: Do you expect Mitt Romney will face President Barack Obama in 2012 presidential election?
