Religion and the 2008 Campaign

So far, religion is not proving to be a clear-cut positive in the 2008 presidential campaign, according to a new survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press and the Pew Forum. The candidates viewed by voters as the least religious among the leading contenders are the current front-runners for the Democratic and Republican nominations - Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani, respectively. On the other hand, the candidate seen as far and away the most religious - Mitt Romney - is handicapped by this perception because of voter concerns about Mormonism.
