Reagan Backers Mixed on Religion SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) -An overwhelming majority of Utahns plan to vote for President Reagan, but many of his supporters in the Mormon-dominate- d state do not agree with his views on mixing religion and politics. A Deseret News-KSsurvey, conducted by Dan Jones & Associates, showed 71 percent of Utah residents support Reagan to 23 percent for Democrat WaL lter Mondale. But only a slight majority, 48 percent, favor Reagan's stand, while 40 percent agree with Mondale's view that religion should be separate from politics. Twelve percent were undecided or said neither or both were right. The president generally is more popular than Mondale in Utah on most all issues. In the last election, Utah gave Reagan the largest vote margin of any state in the nation and the poll indicates he is sure to capture Utah by a wide margin again. ri II II " ' i 25 off All Loft pants and cords Sive 20 on our entire stock of Reg. famous brands, including Santa Cruz, Smart Parts, Langtry Sport, Union Bay and more.
