The organization Faith in Public Life, founded four years ago by a coalition of liberal and moderate religious leaders seeking to provide an alternative voice to that of religious conservatives in the public square, has started compiling survey research about religion and politics on its web site. I've just taken a quick spin through the database, which is being called FPL Poll Spot, and it looks like they have included research from a diverse array of sources, including media organizations, polling companies, and academic and religious research groups, without regard to theological or ideological leanings. The data is searchable by faith group.
