Poll Displaying Demographics

Hello everyone. I found a poll that shows demographic factors on the issue of embryonic stem cell research. Although the poll is from 2005, it is from a credible source. I thought it was worth posting in order to help readers gain an understanding of what groups of people oppose the research compared to the national population. While 58% approve of the research according to this poll (which is the same results as the Gallop Organization from a previous post), this poll shows which groups of Americans are in opposition. The groups are conservatives, white Evangelicalists, and those who attend services weekly. All 3 groups have a higher disapproval rate than approval by 45%-53%. The poll consisted of 938 participants and was a random sample from the U.S. population:
