How popular are Latter-day Saints among their fellow Americans?

Two rather different ways of looking at the data:

 

The Deseret News:  “‘You’re getting warmer’ — Pew studies Americans’ feelings toward religious groups, including Mormons”

 

IBT:  “Most Popular Religions In America: Jews Viewed Most Favorably With Muslims Least Favorable”

 

One of the (many) reasons why Mormons should perhaps feel a little bit of sympathy for Muslims is that we’re right down there with them in the cellar of American public opinion.  If religious prejudice spreads against followers of Islam, there’s a reasonably good chance that we won’t have to wait long before it reaches us.  After all, it’s done so before.
