You are probably right but they make it seem with the headline that it is an incredible feat for Obama to be that far ahead. Not when you have a 15% advantage.

Massive oversample of RATS in this “poll”.

Look there are Catholics and then there are catholics by birth. No comparison.

Not really most Catholics are democrats and many Catholics are cradle to grave government types despite the warnings from Pope John Paul about the dangers of socialism. I, you might have guessed, am not one of those Catholics. Catholics do identify as twice as conservative as liberal and that’s why republicans don’t lose the Catholic vote by 15.

BTW, Obama won the Catholic vote by about 9 in 2008. This poll shows a virtual tie which means he has lost 9 points in that demographic. If that is true he can not win re-election.

Ping If this key vote in the swing states doesn't overwhelmingly support Romney after everything obama and HHS has done they will never support a PUB. Maybe obama knew, from doing polling, before they anounced the birth control and abortificent mandate.

When you don't believe that Jesus blood is enough to cover all your sins you tend to really cling to social justice . Not all surprising to me


Nuns Supporting Obama? Social Responsibility is 'Part of Pro-Life Stance,' They Say http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/2929877/posts

"we are supporting obama because we are for the little guy".

Appropriate response: "So, if I'm hearing you right, you want to be sure that the the Little Guy STAYS little?"

Why is this propaganda headline and article being posted and re-posted on FR? The headline does not match the data in the article.

The poll of 2,629 likely Catholic voters, an unusually large sample, showed that 46.5 percent of non-Hispanic Catholics support Obama, while 45.6 percent support Romney.

That is nine tenths of one point difference, not eight or nine points, leaving aside the bogus sampling.
