Poundingtherock seems to have posted a complaint (as "Anonymous") about this poll on the blog of Elaine Marshall's pimp:

No, I don't know for a fact that it's Poundy, but the posting style is the same, and he refers to Colorado as having a "heavily Mormon electorate".


lol, okay, I guess it's time to show this map again:

In fairness, the Mormon proportion of the Republican electorate could be up to double what is it in the total population, and even higher in a caucus if they're highly motivated, but that still doesn't account for much overall in Colorado.

I don't care what your map says, I live in Jefferson County and we have a considerable mormon population. All our counties lean a lot more to the 10% than the .1%

Colorado as a whole is only 2% Mormon: http://religions.pewforum.org/maps

They might very well seem more numerous because they're very vocal about their faith, or you might just happen to live near a large congregation.

4.5% margin of error. About 1/3 of the students at my school are mormon. How old(or new) is this data?

The map I posted is based on data from the 2000 census. The Pew Survey is from 2007.
