That he had the support of Catholics tells us more about the Catholics than about Obama. He did not have the support of those who hold on to Christ, alone.

55% McCain, 43% Obama - Weekly mass-attending Catholics
55% McCain, 44% Obama - Non-evangelical Protestant
54% McCain, 45% Obama - Protestants
52% McCain, 47% Obama - White "regular-mass-attending" Catholics


46% McCain, 53% Obama - Protestant/Other Christian
46% McCain, 53% Obama – ALL VOTERS ELECTION TOTAL
45% McCain, 53% Obama - Monthly church-goers
45% McCain, 54% Obama - Catholics
31% McCain, 67% Obama - Hispanic Catholics
31% McCain, 67% Obama - Hispanic Evangelicals
05% McCain, 94% Obama - Black Protestants


Only 63% of the eligible voters voted. The electoral map shows that, among people who voted, their vote can be predicted much more accurately by their Zip Code (which often coincides with race as well) than by their stated religious convictions.

None of the polls had a category called "Those who hold on to Christ, alone". However I'd wager that you'd find people who self-describe tha way, in every listed category. What does that prove altogether?

Something very much worse than what you think, DutchBoy88. It suggests that voters vote much more by race than by faith. Catholics make up less than 25% of the population, and vote overall almost identically to “All Voters” (a fact of which I am not proud). But with non-Catholic Christians outnumbering Catholics two to one, it would be rather stupid to blame Obama on Catholics.

And then there’s this:

Evangelical Support for Obama Doubles in Past Three Years (Link).

So quit this stupid religious numbers game and...

Let's work together to defeat Obama, OK?

I mean, if that’s what you want.
