If a conflict arose, 59% of voters would follow the teachings and values of their faith rather than a law that forced them to violate those teachings. A Napolitan News Survey found that only 24% say the opposite.
This survey also asked voters about other issues voters might consider important to their identity:
- 78% of people say that their families are very important to their personal identities.
- Fifty-three percent (53%) say the same of their friends, and half (50%) of their faith.
- In contrast, political party or ideology is seen as very important to identity by just 23% of voters.
- That's fewer than the number who say the same of music (34%), their home town (33%), or race or ethnic background (30%).
- It is only slightly higher than those who say their favorite sports team (19%) or college they attended (17%) is very important.
The most recent data cited is from a Napolitan News Service survey of 1,000 Registered Voters conducted online by Scott Rasmussen May 7-8, 2025. Field work for the survey was conducted by RMG Research, Inc. and has a margin of error of +/- 3.1.
