Latter‑day Saints slowly liberalizing

A new Pew Research Center study finds U.S. Latter‑day Saints remain a small (1–2%) but cohesive, highly religious, and Republican‑leaning group; however, since 2007 measures like daily prayer have ticked down and attitudes on issues such as homosexuality have moved modestly more liberal. The changes are small but consistent across religiosity and some social views. — Gradual ideological and religiosity shifts within a politically concentrated faith community could change local electoral dynamics and the national Republican coalition where Latter‑day Saints are influential.
