WASHINGTON—A Gallup poll released Tuesday suggests voters are highly resistant to electing a Mormon who is Mitt Romney as president of the United States. “I’m already hesitant to vote for a Mormon, and I’m especially uncomfortable if that Mormon is Mitt Romney,” said Wyoming voter Dale Butler, 63, adding that he needed only the slightest extra excuse not to vote for a Mormon candidate, and that the candidate in question being Mitt Romney “probably sealed the deal.” “I don’t expect anyone to be perfect, but in the end, I just don’t think I can overlook the fact that someone is both a Mormon and Mitt Romney. Personally, that’s just too much for me.” The same poll revealed that voters were more than willing to overlook the serial philandering of a candidate who was not also Newt Gingrich.
