In American there are several groups of polygamists.
There are tens of thousands of Mormons in small sects like FLDS. They are based in the Intermountain West and British Columbia.
There are uncountable numbers of Christian groups and families and non religion based families as well. These people are widely spread.
More and more immigrant men are importing extra wives from their home country. Estimates begin in the tens of thousands. They are mostly in large cities.

Do voters and Christians know that when Mormonism began they practiced polygamy and that God is a Polygamist?
There are several problems with this question: First, Polygamy did not enter the Mormon church until 13 years after it began. It was not practiced by the membership of the church until 1843. Second, nowhere in Mormon doctrine does it say that God is a polygamist. This is not an official doctrine of the church. Third, Mormons do not deny that the church practiced polygamy from 1843 to 1890. Just because they ended the practice doesn't mean they deny it ever happend. But, to answer the question, yes. The majority of Americans do know that early Mormons practiced polygamy. In fact, many polls have indicated that polygamy is the first thing people think of when they hear the word "Mormon." The church is trying to change this, as they haven't practiced polygamy for over 120 years.
