Asking Kindly, Is Mormonism Considered Christian?
Not really. Depends on who you ask.
I don't think many Christian donominations recognize the Mormon church as part of Christianity. In fact the Catholic church says:

What does the Catholic Church say about the practices and beliefs of Mormonism?
While individual Mormons may be persons of good conscience, Mormonism itself is a belief system that would reduce the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit from being the three Persons of the one, true, and infinite God to being three limited, finite deities among an uncounted multitude of deities, all of whom merely reshaped small parts of a preexisting cosmos.
Mormonism teaches that human beings may, by practicing the tenets of its faith, become gods and goddesses themselves, with their own planets full of people worshiping them.
While the Catholic Church would reject nothing that is true or good in Mormonism or any other world religion, Catholic theology would have to note that there is a tremendous amount in Mormonism that is neither true nor good. Further, because Mormonism presents itself as a form of Christianity yet is incompatible with the historic Christian faith, sound pastoral practice would need to warn the Christian faithful: Mormon theology is blasphemous, polytheistic, and cannot be considered on par with the theology of other Christian groups.
But on the other hand, I think at least some Mormons think of themselves as a branch of Christianity. I know Mitt Romney did, or maybe that was just because he was running for president?

Yes it is, anyone that tells you otherwise doesn't know what Christianity is about
Out of curiosity, why do you think this?
