OK, so what's the truth about Latter-day Saint political affiliation? Over the past two decades, the share of Latter-day Saints who identify as Republicans has fallen by 10% — from around 68.5% (2007-2010) to 57.5% (2022-2025) — with the loss evenly split between increases in Democratic affiliation & no affiliation. Latter-day Saints went from being the most Republican-leaning religious group in the country ... to being the 2nd most, behind white evangelicals. In 2025, GOP affiliation sill outnumbered Democratic affiliation by a 40-point margin among Latter-day Saints. What's the big deal? Latter-day Saints were the only religious group where the GOP lost its advantage over those 20 years. Every other group (except for atheists) moved in the opposite direction, erasing Democrats' decadeslong domination over partisan affiliation. Why? Brad Jones, the author of this @YouGovAmerica analysis of Cooperative Election Study data (and a BYU grad), said it could be Latter-day Saints' high rate of college education playing into the educational polarization that has defined the Trump era of American politics. Quin Monson, a BYU professor who wrote the book on Latter-day Saint politics, said another explanation for dissatisfaction with the GOP among some Latter-day Saints could be a perceived conflict with teachings about civility, compromise and the Constitution. Turning Point Action COO Tyler Bowyer, a Latter-day Saint who runs Charlie Kirk’s campaign operation, said criticisms from prominent Latter-day Saint politicians may have led to a temporary aversion to the GOP of Donald Trump, which is now being reversed. What do you think? Here's my full article on the question: deseret.com/politics/2026/…
