Exit Poll: GA, TN Republicans do not like Mormons.

In Tennessee, according to early exit polls, 74 percent of voters said they cared either somewhat or a great deal about a candidate's religion. That figure was also high, 69 percent, in Georgia.

Even by the standards of Southern states, that number is fairly high; it was 60 percent in South Carolina by comparison, for instance.

In Ohio, meanwhile, 62 percent of voters said the candidate's religious beliefs matter somewhat or a great deal, as compared with 56 percent in Michigan.
