The LDS community has a 35 percent undecided rate which is the lowest in all demographic
categories. Catholic, Christian Evangelical and Protestant voters are approximately 60 percent
undecided, Mike Noble, Pollster & Managing Partner of OH Predictive Insights said. Clearly
Biggs lead is significantly larger among LDS voters and he is dominating in every major religious
category. When it comes to Biggs base, it is a melting pot of support.

Noble added, It is evident that Donald Trump is not a popular candidate among the LDS
community despite him being the GOPs presumptive presidential nominee. If the LDS
community is not motivated to vote due to Trumps presence on the ticket, it could negatively
impact voter turnout for the states congressional election.
