Jana Riess: Driven by younger voters, Latter-day Saints are shifting slowly away from their default affiliation with the GOP. But it’s less of a blue wave than a blue ripple.
by the prophet at that time, Spencer W. Kimball, the damage was done: Many older U.S. Latter-day Saints still seem to assume that “GOP” stands for “God’s Own Party.”
One thing to keep in mind with this data is that odd-numbered years in the CES survey have a much smaller, so the total number of Latter-day Saint respondents in 2017 and 2019 is less than half what it can be in election years . This means that results from even-numbered years are somewhat more reliable.
