Latter‑day Saints Diverge on Diversity

Detailed Pew survey tables show that U.S. Latter‑day Saints remain highly religious and predominantly Republican, yet they hold more distinctive views than other Republican identifiers on diversity and communal ties. The data suggest the LDS bloc is politically loyal but culturally distinct — potentially a moderating influence within conservative coalitions. — If a visibly religious, Republican‑leaning group diverges on diversity and social‑trust issues, it can reshape party messaging, coalition management, and how religion is mobilized in politics.
