Again, those who have followed the church won?t be surprised by this. Last spring, church authorities publicly supported a comprehensive immigration reform bill in Utah that was opposed by anti-immigration activists. In June, the church issued a statement declaring that the ?Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is concerned that any state legislation that only contains enforcement provisions is likely to fall short of the high moral standard of treating each other as children of God.? But for those who have equated the positions of Mitt Romney or the Republican Party with those of all Mormons, this attitude toward immigration may seem unexpected. (Romney himself is, unsurprisingly, hugely popular among Mormons, according to the survey: 86 percent of the respondents who were also registered voters viewed him favorably. Only 50 percent of those respondents like Jon Huntsman, the other Mormon presidential candidate?and just 22 percent like Harry Reid, the Democratic senator from Nevada, also a Mormon.)
