Religion and the 2012 New Hampshire Republican Primary

January 11, 2012

Interviews conducted as voters left the polls in the 2012 New Hampshire Republican primary show that Mitt Romney -- who won the overall vote by a double-digit margin -- was the winner among born-again evangelical Christians as well as among non-evangelical voters. Romney's advantage among evangelicals was smaller than it was in the electorate overall, but his performance among evangelicals in New Hampshire was better than it was among evangelicals in the Iowa GOP caucuses.

Read the full report for more details about the born-again/evangelical vote as well as the preferences of voters of other religious affiliations.
