But according to a national post-election survey commissioned by the Faith and Freedom Coalition, the evangelical turnout was up in 2012 for Mitt Romney compared to the 2008 numbers for John McCain. The evangelical vote increased in 2012 to a record 27% of the electorate and that white evangelicals voted roughly 78% for Mitt Romney to 21% for Barack Obama. This was the highest share of the vote in modern political history. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/11/07/poll-evangelical-turnout-increased-in-2012-over-2008/
What you could say is that we’ll see if any other groups have a better turnout than Evangelicals and vote as heavily conservative.
Thank you for that info.
The fact that 21 percent of evangelicals voted for Obama makes me question either the statistic, the level of knowledge of the evangelical, or whether the person even understands “evangelism”.
