((of course, these Republics that were polled are hypocrites....once they realize their favorite candidate is 72, married repeatedly, mormon, etc, they will offer an excuse to vote for them.))

1. Of all those groups, only atheists come in at less than 50%.

The next least popular group is homosexuals with just over 50% acceptance.

2. It's about driving down turnout.. also thought it interesting

I thought it was interesting that atheist polled lower than gays. Will they take up a ban atheist marriage? Or, defining marriage as one god-fearing man and one god-fearing woman?

But, it's about driving down turnout - if just 2-3% of the evangelicals who voted Bush stay home, it makes a huge difference.
