Out of 19 faith communities polled by The Barna Group, all but evangelicals favour Democratic presidential hopeful Obama over Republican John McCain, reveals The Barna Group survey released on Monday.

Here are the polling numbers from the article:
61% McCain, 17% Obama: Evangelicals
28% McCain, 44% Obama: nominal Christians
29% McCain, 39% Obama: Catholics
32% McCain, 43% Obama: Protestants
24% McCain, 56% Obama: "faiths other than Christianity"
17% McCain, 55% Obama: atheists and agnostics

Notice how other coverage spins the story in different directions:

Catholics? Not real ones.

Real evangelicals voting for Obama would have to be preceded by a precipitous thermal decline in the lower reaches of perdition.

including nominal Christians

"Nominal Christians" is a Faith Community???

[weegee]

“while there is still ‘decided preference’ for Obama among the Christian community”

BS. He wouldn't be chastising his “base” for clinging to religion if he really had the support.

[Grunthor]

“Obama yet to win over evangelicals”

He believes in executing babies for the crime of having survived an abortion attempt. I fail to see how any christian worthy of the name could back the man.

add this one:

“A new Gallup Poll claims to show that registered voters who say religion is important in their lives tend to support presumptive Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain by a margin of 50 to 40 percent, while those who say religion is unimportant to their lives tend to support presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama by a margin of 55 to 36 percent.”

( Obama yet to win over evangelicals )
Obama and the MSM to the Christian evangelicals : " Racists !! ".

[Lee N. Field]

The evangelical community is the only faith segment that Barack Obama has not won the majority support of, a new survey found.

The only religious group not completely given over to crack monkey craziness.

; and Protestants (43 per cent vs 32 per cent).

Christianity Today, right? You'd think someone there'd be aware that "evangelical" is a subset of "protestant".

even non-evangelical born-again Christians

Barna's categories need to be carefully scrutinized.

"McCain. Slightly less heinous."

[diamond6]

39% of Catholics want Obama... that is scandalous, and very depressing. Any Catholic that votes for a pro-abort, pro-infanticide candidate should be excommunicated.

[OrioleFan]

Shouldn't headline be:

Obama fails to win over infidels

[Salvation]

I don’t think Obama will win over evangelicals or the REAL Catholics.

[Liberty1970]

Satan would win a majority vote from “Christians” these days. Sheeeesh. How content-free can a person’s faith get?

[Salvation]
