Religion's Influence

According to a Gallup poll taken in January 2001, just before George W. Bush was inaugurated:
Would you like to see organized religion have more influence in this nation, less influence, or keep its influence as it is now?

More 30%
Less 22%
As It Is Now 45%
Other/Unsure 3%
But when this same question was asked a few weeks ago:
Would you like to see organized religion have more influence in this nation, less influence, or keep its influence as it is now?

More 27%
Less 32%
As It Is Now 39%
Other/Unsure 2%
It's interesting that what used to be a +8% gap (More vs Less) is now a -5% gap, even when the poll question doesn't connect religion's influence specifically with politics.
