Barack Obama leads 46/44 in new Investor’s Business Daily/Christian Science Monitor/TIPP Poll. Well that’s what they are saying anyway.
The TIPP poll shows Mitt Romney has closed up a 7 point deficit …..TIPP’s accompanying internals that supports its headline numbers.
From the earliest days of this campaign the truth of Barack Obama’s numbers has remained the same: he is not winning any group he lost and not doing better with any group he did win in 2008.
These numbers are black and white and not subject to interpretation.
The sampling errors that seem to be build-in to all of today’s polls are of course present here. TIPP used 36% Democrats, 31% Republicans and 30 Independents If we use the Rasmussen report on actual Party registrations the numbers would be 36.8% Republican, 34.2% Democrat. The Independents are 30% and they used 30%.
These numbers add up to a sampling skew of 6.7%, but that doesn’t even factor in the 16 enthusiasm edge for Republicans reported by Gallup.
Taking each category of voter and comparing what TIPP is reporting today with what Obama got in 2008, we see that Obama is NOT doing better with any voting bloc – not even those he carried.
Among the largest blocs Obama won, here are the “then and now” numbers.
Women (53% of voters); Obama won 56/43 – a 13 point margin. Today he is down to 51/40.
Men (47% of voters) were won by Obama 49/48 and today he is losing 48/40.
Obama won African Americans 95/4; today he is at 88%.
Obama won Jews with 78%; today he is down to 59%. Among young voters 18 – 44 Obama is winning 49/39; in 2008 he took 57% of their votes.
In 2008 Obama won Catholics 54/45 now he’s at 46/44%.

I would rather be the challenger at 44 than the incumbent at 46.
What is wrong with catholics? That’s if this survey is correct.
I mean, really?
The poll linked is from September 10!
“What is wrong with catholics..?”
The liberal/union/blue collar social justice wing of the catholic church votes democrat no matter what. They are CINO’s because a true catholic does not support gov’t funded abortion. It is very sad, and many if not most of the bishops are pro democrat as well. I am happy to see the number of “catholic” Obama supporters has decreased although no catholic can be excused for voting for Obama and the democrat abortion platform, not to mention the HHS mandate; for a catholic, to pull the lever for a democrat is material cooperation in evil.

My inlaws are Catholics but havent been to mass in over 30 years. The title Catholic for polls really means little. They vote for rats everytime. Are they Catholic? please
sorry! hit post twice by accident
For the life of me, I can't believe Catholics still want this guy to be President. Just plain dumb!
According to investors.com IBD/TIPP begins daily tracking polls today. This will be interesting, as IMHO they and Ras are the most accurate.
these are Catholics a la the Kennedys type of Catholics... i come from a family of this type... believe in God... even go to mass... but very liberal politically... anti death penalty, pro union, pro government programs to help those less fortunate... in their eyes, the Dems are always for the regular guy... Repubs are for the rich...
A much, much, much more recent poll (Battleground) shows Catholics going from Romney only 50-47, BUT ACTIVE CATHOLICS going for Romney 63-35.
Protestants support Romney by a much larger 55-42, but ACTIVE PROTESTANTS by a very similar 59-37.
That’s right: ACTIVE CATHOLICS vote MORE Republican than ACTIVE PROTESTANTS.
What’s up?
Most Catholics live in regions dominated by ultra-left-wing media, politics, and government, such as Mass., NY., NJ., Maryland, R.I., Connecticut, Calif., etc. Even in the midwest, they live in large, ultra-liberal cities. The only place they’ll ever hear a reason not to vote for the most insane, left-wing lunatic is in their church. So when a non-religious Catholic (i.e., a non-Christian of Irish, Hispanic, Mediterranean or Central European extraction) votes, he votes the way of those who surround him: Democrat. When a non-religious Protestant votes, he votes the way of those who surround him which is more likely Republican.
