The high number of respondents who cite religion's importance in their lives is "a reality often ignored in the political world," Rasmussen said. 

He cited further data indicating that, when faith and law conflict, just 41% of Americans would follow the law

The survey of 1,200 Registered Voters was conducted by Rasmussen using a mixed mode approach from September 24-26, 2020.
