The Evangelism Connection

With any election you need the majority in order to win. The "religious right" (religious being used as a broad term including many religions) has been a sought after commodity for any election throughout the history of our nation. McCain didn't get it - the religious right that is. Statistics from a Pew Research poll show that...

Jewish

78% voted for Obama

Catholic

54% voted for Obama (45% for McCain)

Other Faiths 

73% voted for Obama (Strange... but the change to voting Democrat from 2004 to 2008 is -1. That means that those in the "Other Faiths" group voted for McCain more than they did for Bush!)

Unafilliated

75% for Obama

Whereas...

Protestant/Other Christian

55% for McCain

45% for Obama (Wow! Truly more Pastors need to preach some patriotic -  political - sermon.)

Evangelical/Born Again

73% for McCain 

23% for Obama (Somebody needs to explain things to these "Born Again Christians", that or they need to change there name. The change, from 2004, to voting democrat is +5!)

Non Evangelical

55% for McCain 

44% for Obama (Actually there is no change between democrat voting this year - it's is the same as '04). 

Conclusion:

More Christians need to take the time to research who they vote for. Also, we should never assume that anybody is "in the tank" for whichever candidate we support. This poll also shows that evangelism is an indirect key to winning elections!
