Pollster: Mormonism may cost Romney the Michigan primary.

[RandySF]

GRAND RAPIDS – Mitt Romney’s position on the Detroit auto bailout and health care plan have been blasted, but a pollster suggests one issue not often discussed on the campaign trail this year could end up costing him the Michigan primary victory: his Mormon faith.

EPIC-MRA pollster Bernie Porn said the former Massachusetts governor’s faith hasn’t been as big of a topic as it was when he sought the nomination in 2008.

But Porn said on WGVU’s “West Michigan Week” that his polls show that 7 percent of the Republicans tallied said they wouldn’t vote for Romney because he is a Mormon – and the actual number might be higher.

With a race that could be decided by less than 5 percent, that could be a problem for Romney, he said.

5. His early days in the business were low budget, lived in a triplex. The Porn

triplex, we called it. Later on as he got more sophisticated in his pol(l)ing he was able to make big money featuring unstandard deviations.
