Barack Obama has courted white weekly churchgoers as avidly as any Republican-leaning bloc of voters, though it now appears his efforts may fall flat on Election Day.
The Gallup Poll now shows Obama backed by 28 percent of white voters who attend church at least once a week — a group that makes up a roughly a third of all voters — which would be no improvement from the 29 percent of these voters who, according to exit polls, backed Democrats John Kerry and Al Gore in the previous two presidential election.

Current polling indicates Obama has gained with voters who attend church occasionally and could possibly win the Catholics next week. Kerry, who would have been the second Catholic president, lost Catholics to Methodist George W. Bush by about a million votes, according to exit polls.
Democrats have lost weekly churchgoers of all races by double-digits in every two-man presidential election since 1980, and by increasingly wide margins. Michael Dukakis lost these voters by about 10 percentage points in 1988, while Kerry lagged by more than 20 points in 2004.

Come on FReepers! We can do this with God's help. Watch this before you say your prayers. Then pray, pray, pray for America!!!! Click here and be reminded of why you love America.
But Obama offset that religious vote with gains among atheists, sexual deviants, and ‘former terrorists’.
Latest polls show ‘former terrorists’ are breaking for Obama big time.

Palin excites Christians.
Obama will gain on nothing but the black vote. Period.
That’s the dirty little secret the media won’t tell ya. His whole candidacy is based on getting out the black vote in record numbers in the urban areas, soldifying the latte liberal base and that’s it.
There is no new demo he is reaching. In fact he’s losing a big chunk of the Union/Reagan Dems.
In the end, depending on the availibility of crack, the pimps and gangabngers in the hood may actually cast their first vote ever, hence his popular vote numbers could be impressive. But he won’t win electoral college.
As a Christian, I’m not too excited about McCain. I admire the guy for his service to this country.
It’s Sarah Palin that I like. And many Christians feel this way about her.
If they are not excited with Palin, I don’t know what else that could make them excited. Unless, some of them still hold the idea that women cannot be a president—which I really doubt that it’s the case here.
Great! Thanks. I was worried as earlier Barna poll says, roughly 50/50 Christians vote for McCain, with a little more going for him.
No way. Barna just told us a few days ago Hussein was getting 40+% of the evangelical vote.
Every church I know is having people pray round the clock, for the defeat of this ravenous wolf.
Don't worry buddy, they are coming out to vote!
“Every church I know is having people pray around the clock...”, yep, going on big time all over down here.
Have any of these pollsters bothered to do a demographic on parents with special needs kids?
Nine million U.S. children under 18 years have a special health care need. Nine million kids = 18 million parents.
