A recent Gallup poll, via Daily Kos:

If your party nominated a well-qualified Candidate For WH '08 who was _, would you vote for that person?

Yes No Catholic 95% 4% Black 94 5 Jewish 92 7 A woman 88 11 Hispanic 87 12 Mormon 72 24 Married for third time 67 30 72 years old 57 42 A homosexual 55 43 An atheist 45 53
