Precisely, it pisses me off fox and cnn keep talking about this, but never mention the mormon vote.
In terms of population, there are 5.5 Million Mormons in the USA.
Counting Evangelicals is a bit more difficult as there is not one headquarter or centralized place that gives us a number.
Given the imprecision involved in defining exactly what–or who–an evangelical is, it is no surprise that it is extremely difficult to establish a precise estimate of their exact numbers in the United States. With so many different evangelical denominations, thousands upon thousands of independent evangelical churches, evangelical constituencies of varying sizes within historically evangelical “mainline” Protestant and even inside non-evangelical denominations, there is no single entity that can possibly serve as a representative gatekeeper (or census-taker) for the movement.
For this reason, the best approach to an evangelical headcount is a judicious triangulation of various polling and survey data. So, Estimates of the number of evangelicals in the United States, therefore, are just that: estimates.
Based on this, according to a study by Wheaton College, when one lays a number of different studies side-by-side and considers the fact that many Americans could be described as “cultural evangelicals” (particularly within the African-American and Southern white populations), a general estimate of the nation’s evangelicals could safely be said to range somewhere between 30-35% of the population, or about 90-100 million Americans.
If the above number is valid, then we have 16 times more Evangelicals than Mormons.
That’s a huge chunk of voters that Romney needs to woo.
