Gallup: Obama Enjoys Massive Lead Among Those With No Religion By Terence P. Jeffrey September 6, 2012

(CNSNews.com) - President Barack Obama enjoys a massive lead over Mitt Romney among registered voters who say they have no religion, according to the Gallup tracking poll of the presidential race.

In the three-week period that ended on Sept. 3, according to Gallup, Obama led Romney 69 percent to 23 percent among those who have no religion. That was exactly the same result Gallup got in the previous three-week period ending Aug. 26.

Since Gallup started publishing demographic breakouts of its tracking poll on May 6, Obama has always held a large lead among registered voters who say they have no religion. Even so, he has managed to grow that lead.

In the three week period ending May 6, Obama led Romney 63 percent to 27 percent among registered voters with no religion.

Romney leads Obama in other religious categories that Gallup tracks. He leads Obama 47 percent to 45 percent among registered votes who say they are Catholic, 54 percent to 39 percent among those who say they are Protestant or Christian, 58 percent to 35 percent among those who say they are “highly religious” and 47 percent to 45 percent among those who say they are “moderately religious.”

Among registered voters who say they are “nonreligious,” Obama holds a 62 percent to 31 percent lead—not quite as large as his 69 percent to 23 percent lead among those who say they have no religion.

Finally, the truth comes out. It comes down to God vs. no god

That's what a lot of us have been trying to say.

Well if one is stupid enough to believe all that is hasn’t a creator, well they could be stupid enough to be for the election of an empty suit.

At their convention Democrats boo God and cheer Obama. Democrats are people with no moral values and no spiritual values. The are parasites on society.

Perhaps, except when communists become our favorite group.

In that case, we un-employ capitalists, give their jobs to communists, and everyone loses.

See how that works.

I guess not having a god (other than Brak 0bama) means you don’t need a job, either.

0.7% of the population are atheists.

The wording of the poll is a little tricky and doesn't reflect the truth. "No religion" means specific church...but nevertheless, Christian, Jewish...etc etc.

Without a foundation in God they’ll fall for anything.

I think they’ve proven that to be very true.
