I'll admit that I would hesitate voting for an Evangelical Christian or a Mormon. Some would say that I should be leery of Muslims too, but perhaps I don't know enough about them yet to have formed a negative opinion. I don't consider Muslim extremists to be representative of all Muslims; on the other hand, I guess I've had enough exposure to Evangelical Christians and Mormons to have formed a negative impression.

What a silly poll. None of these classifications has anything to do with how a person would govern. I think MOST people care about the individual and their political points of view, not what color, religion, gender, or sexual orientation they are.

I don't think it's silly. So far, nobody has voted for "Any/all of the above", so it looks like people do care about classifications.
I would not vote for an evangelical christain since they openly admit their have a loyalty and duty to God that takes precidence over any earthly concerns.
I would not vote for a Mormon just because I think of all the US mainstream religions that one is the most ridiculous and couldn't trust anyone who actually bought into that.
I would not vote for a Muslim because they also act on behalf of a power higher than any earthly concerns.
I am not certain how Jewish people feel about their obligations to God vs man so I have no opinion.
Basically, if their mind in on the supernatural I don't want then in charge of me.

Okay, let me rephrase. I personally would have no problem voting for anyone in any of those classifications if they shared the same/similar ideology as me.
I really don't care about ethnicity or religious preference.
With that said, I normally don't think too highly of Mormons for their right-wing views on moral issues; but it might come down to me voting for someone like Romney in '12. I voted for Obama 2 years ago, but am regretting that move as are many other independent voters.
Someone who is anti-illegal, pro-education, and fiscally responsible will get my vote regardless of party affiliation or any of the other items in the poll.
I'd vote for the most qualified. Doesn't matter to me what race or religion.
