To some, but not all.
I don't expect that Perry-supporting preacher from the Dallas First Baptist Church who described Mormonism as a "theological cult" to change his mind about this, and many members of his church probably feel the same way. He is probably very threatened by the idea of a Mormon president. BTW, those two religious groups are probably competing for "hearts and minds" more openly than any other religious groups. Southern Baptists are on the decline, Mormons on the rise. That scares the sh$t out of Baptists.
I'm guessing here but I think the percentage of Americans who care a lot about this is pretty small. People will vote for Romney because they want a Republican, or just not Obama, not because of his religious beliefs.
