More than three-quarters of those polled said the topic should not be part of the national political debate. But with Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, and Rick Santorum saying Obama is violating employers' religious freedom by mandating contraception coverage, the polls shows that the GOP presidential candidates' views are out of sync with what voters want. "These candidates are talking to a relatively small subset even among Republicans," J. Ann Selzer, who conducted the telephone poll of 1,002 respondents, told Bloomberg News. |
