Any chance you can do this same analysis with the 4 clusters from your LDS typology? I would suspect the movement of the LDS dot is not just resisting the populist tendency of Evangelicals, but also includes some polarization and leftward drift of some subgroups within the LDS community as well. Would be great to see, if there is enough data to support an analysis.
Interesting insights. Thank you. When you consider public perceptions of associated qualities of kindness, compassion, peace, etc., of Buddhist and Hindu; it adds another divergent perspective to the evangelical push toward authoritarianism that Mormons don’t want to be associated with. I know, for me, that has been the case. As I view these charts I can see my own progression moving more towards black Protestants. A lot of my movement has come as a result of the lack of reverence for mankind I see in the approach of the current administration. It would be interesting to gather qualitative data on the “why” haven’t Mormons moved with the evangelicals.
I like your suggestion of the qualitative data. I think that is one area where my work could really be enriched. I also agree that there is a trump "stigma" where he likely isn't associated with qualities of kindness, compassion, and peace. In some of my previous polling work, we found that Republican voters favorite quality of Trump was that he "fought for them" and didn't role over to the democrats.
Another interesting insight for me. There hasn’t been hardly any movement for Mormons towards left and down. Could this be an indication and effect of losing a younger generation in the LDS faith? They are much more compassionate than the older generation when it comes to duty and authority.
Identities can be hard since they are "moving targets" while religions are sticky identities there are people joining and leaving all the time! If the CES had this data, I think it would be quite interesting to look at how those "raised Mormon" differ from those who only currently identify.

Ya this is a good idea. I'll see what I can do maybe in a post in the new year.
