About a quarter of Nevada GOP voters were Mormon, and virtually all of them preferred Mitt Romney.

Overall, about half of Romney's Nevada votes came from Mormons.

Among non-Mormons, he had a slight lead over Ron Paul.

National polls have shown that Romney's Mormon religion is a problem for significant numbers of Republican voters.

Romney and Mike Huckabee were doing best among white born-again and evangelical Christians.
