I'm not a Latter-Day Saint, and never have been, but I've read a lot about the faith and am more knowledgeable than most Gentiles. I've had a couple of LDS friends.
I haven't heard the word "devil" applied in particular to LDS, but there are certainly some faiths - most commonly, certain fundamentalist Baptist sects - which consider LDS to be non-Christian and evil. They also feel that way about Catholics, and, well, just about everyone else, as far as I can tell. :D
My understanding is that the most intense anti-Mormon sentiment in the US is in the South, but that's not something I've witnessed first-hand; I've never been to the South.
I will say that my impression is that anti-LDS feelings run fairly deep in some segments of the US population, in part due to events such as the Mountain Meadows massacre, but more because of plain old-fashioned bigotry. As a result, I'm firmly convinced that LDS member and Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney is entirely deluded if he thinks he can win the 2008 Republican Presidential nomination, as he apparently believes. Too much of his potential base is prejudiced against him.
