...or simply socially identified Catholics (think CINO’s)?

I am assuming that they did not ask how many times the members go to church, or they would have included it in the poll. However, the respondents did identify themselves as Catholic. I think the Catholic clergy have been pretty clear that they don't support obama. If this poll is accurate why don't more Catholics (even the marginally Catholic) support Romney?

Obama getting 49 percent of Catholics overall

In 2008 He got 54%. So how is this good news for Obama. The headline could just have easily read "Obama's support among Catholics down 5% from 2008".

Putting a little emphasis where it is needed, let’s phrase it like this. Catholics are supporting a president who is gay, promotes the gay agenda, promotes abortion on demand right up to and beyond birth. They support a president who is waging a war on Catholics and all Christians.

I would imagine the polling samples reflect the percentage of Catholics who are registered Democrats compared to the number who are registered as Republicans. When seen in that light, 7 percent of Democrat Catholics won’t be voting for Obama. Catholics who care about Christianity and their Church should get out and persuade their brothers and sisters to not vote for the enemy.

“I know you Conservatives to Reelect President 0bama (CREEP0)”

Last time you called me a Stalinist. I seem to have been demoted in that fevered, fermenting, deliquescent slime that passes for your thought processes.

Are you paid for your insipid cheerleading and slanders? It is an important distinction. In one profession it distinguishes whores from sluts.

How many of them will admit in confession that they have enabled the baby killer party?

The stats were pretty much in line between the 2 groups with the greatest difference being 10% for the question:

“The Obama Administration has gone too far in placing restrictions on religious freedom when implementing their programs and policies.”

The lack of difference between Mass attenders and those that don't tends to validate this current poll. I'm surprised after everything that the obama admn. has done.

“...54% of Catholic voter support he had in 2008 has dwindled to just 27% (MoE +/- 3 points); a historic low level no one running for president can survive.

Why are the swing states so close. The Catholic vote is disproportionately high in those states.

Romney or Obama will be the next President. Spending all your time making factually absurd attacks on Romney, as you do, does one thing, help reelect Obama.

That may not be your intent, it is the result of your actions.

If you object to your CREEP0 behavior being pointed out, stop doing it.

That's what I thought about the sampling imbalance.

I agree with the second part of your comment. If the Catholic vote is so strong for Romney the swing states wouldn't be close. The Catholic vote is very strong in those states.

Priests need to say it.

“A vote for Obama or any Democrat is a SIN will lead to excommunication, and unconfessed will endanger your immortal soul.

And dare the IRS to do anything about it.

You seem to labor under delusions of significance.

They won't, just as my Evangelical Brothers and Sisters won't.

The most consistent argument I run into is "we are supporting obama because we are for the little guy".

Forty-eight percent of the poll respondents were Democrats; 33 percent were Republicans....

__________________________

So that’s why they didn’t call me! I’m a registered, likely voter who is Republican and Catholic. Wonder if CBS & NPR reporters helped stage the poll questions.

I am Catholic and we had a retired nun wearing a Gore 2000 pin in church. That was the year they were making a really big push to vote for the candidate that is most in line with the Catholic docrine on abortion.

I walked up to her after church one day, and asked her how she could suposrt a candidate from a party that supports abortion and Gay lifestyle....

She looked at me red faced, said "Excuse me.." and walked away. I didn't see her wear that pin again in church after that, but you know she voted for Gore.

I'm with you .... she should have been kicked out or at least thrown out of the retirement community of nuns she was living with which my tithing was helping to pay for.

It seems to me we are moving pretty close to the days where we have to decide where we stand, there is no middle ground.
