Data Point – Evangelicals in the mid-term election

by

According to a post-election survey conducted by Public Opinion Strategies:

  • Conservative Christians made up nearly one out of every three voters
  • They voted eight-to-one for Republican candidates
  • Self-identified conservative Christians made up 32 percent of the electorate; voted 86 percent Republican and only 12 percent Democrat.
  • These voters contributed an astonishing 52.4 percent of all the votes received by Republican candidates.
  • This constituency larger than the African-American vote, Hispanic vote, union vote, and gay vote combined. White Evangelicals, meanwhile, made up 23 percent of the electorate and voted 82 percent Republican and 18 percent Democratic, according to the survey.

  • Republicans won the Roman Catholic vote by a twelve-point margin, 56 to 44 percent.
  • Faithful Catholics who attend Mass once a week or more often and comprise one out of every ten voters, cast 70 percent of their votes for Republican candidates and only 30 percent for Democratic candidates.

And the Democrats do nothing but keep insulting one of the biggest voting blocks in the country; go figure.

    Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom and how the Government is taking that away. As an evangelical Christian and Conservative with small "L" libertarian leanings, my fight is with Progressives forcing a collectivized, secular humanistic future upon us. As a TEA Party activist, citizen journalist, and pundit!, my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture.
