Welcome to the Morning Buzz, PRRI\u2019s morning dose of religion-related news with a shot of data \u2013 because what doesn\u2019t liven up a morning round-up like some public opinion numbers? Apparently, some oenophiles are not as discerning as they would like to think: a new marketing survey revealed<\/a> that participants not only like wines with fancy-sounding names better, they\u2019re willing to shell out more for them.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A good old-fashioned generation gap<\/a> is nothing new to public opinion researchers (see Americans\u2019 views on same-sex marriage,<\/a> immigration reform<\/a>, or a handful of other issues), but these differences could lead to an all-out war, at least according to David Fru<\/a>m<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Might the Episcopal Church\u00a0move to permit<\/a>\u00a0the ordination of transgender clergy?\u00a0Nine-in-ten white mainline Protestants agree<\/a>\u00a0that transgender people deserve the same rights and protections as other Americans, but it seems that such a dramatic change could be a struggle for Episcopalian transgender advocates.<\/p>\n

It may be stating the obvious to repeat the results of a new poll from Brigham Young University,<\/a> which found that more than 8-in-10 Mormons are excited about Romney\u2019s nomination. More interestingly, however, Mormons remain suspicious of the media:\u00a068% said they do not trust the media to cover the church fairly.<\/p>\n

The United States remains<\/a> one of the most religious countries in the world.<\/p>\n

Should Mitt Romney pick a Catholic veep? Former Virginia DNC chairman\u00a0Paul Goldman and public policy scholar Mark J. Rozell point out<\/a> that, while they are not a monolith, Catholics remain an important swing demographic.<\/p>\n

What does the decision in\u00a0Arizona v. United States<\/em><\/a> mean for the handful of states, like Alabama, who adopted similar laws?<\/p>\n
