Among the general population only 35% agreed."Out of more than sixty different subgroups reviewed, there were no differences of opinion on these two survey questions, suggesting that the two issues may be linked in Americans' minds," the report states.However, 23% of voters said the "political efforts of conservative Christians" are a major problem facing the country.
