On the morning of the National Prayer Breakfast, our CEO, Dr. Robert P. Jones, went on C-SPAN’s popular morning program, “The Washington Journal,” to discuss major religious groups’ influence on elections, with a particular emphasis on the issues that are already circulating in the 2012 presidential campaign. He took questions from the audience in addition to discussing PRRI findings with the host, and delved into topics like the current debates over whether religiously affiliated hospitals, colleges and social agencies should be required to provide no-cost birth control to their employees through insurance, as well as Mitt Romney’s problems with white evangelical Protestants over his Mormon faith.
