Pew reported in July that

fully 78% of white evangelical voters say they would vote for Trump if the election were held today, including about a third who “strongly” back his campaign...

Two-thirds of religiously unaffiliated registered voters say they would vote for Clinton if the election were held today, just as two-thirds intended to vote for Obama

One can understand why Blacks and Hispanics vote for Clinton to keep the welfare goodies, but why would White mainline Protestants and Catholics join the heathen bloc in voting for her?

Are we talking about the same bunch of people who still put money in the collection basket each week while priests were molesting children left and right while their uppers looked the other way and moved them to different parishes without discipling them or warning their future victims of the danger they were in?

I am a FORMER Catholic and I am voting for Donald Trump.

2 points. One Pols are the same media smart people have learned to distrust. 2. Anything official from Catholicism is pro Hillary because of her open borders/Amnesty positions. So in other words this poll is a push poll.

Dear daniel1212,

They are not Catholic, they only think they are Catholic, they like the cache and the smug, self-reasoned, satisfaction of ‘being Catholic’ among their ‘Catholic’ peers.

But Daniel look at it from your standpoint - they are really protestants, not really good protestants, but protestants none the less. They are just one banana peel away from joining you in your own smug satisfaction.

Ad Majoram Dei Gloriam

More than half of all U.S. Catholics (52 percent) would cast a vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton if the election were held today, compared to just 32 percent for Republican Donald J. Trump...

This result is not surprising and probably is consistent with past voting habits. It is very sad to see so many people who claim to be Catholic, siding with Satan.

My uncle once told me that he votes for Democrats because they bring jobs and money into their district.

These people are unable to vote any other way. They cannot connect the dots to see how self destructive they are by standing wth corruption, the culture of death, and the demise of the USA into a third world cesspool.

More recent:

A new poll has reaffirmed Hillary Clinton's lead over Donald Trump among Catholic voters in the US presidential election. The Democratic candidate is supported by 56 per cent of Catholics, compared to 40 per cent for the Republican, according to the survey commissioned by Catholics for Choice.

Clinton's strongest lead is among Latino Catholics, 63 per cent of whom support her while only 22 per cent are planning to vote for Trump, according to the poll. Latinos make up around a quarter (26 per cent) of the Catholic electorate.

Trump leads Clinton by 13 points among white Catholics, by 50 per cent to 37 per cent. He also has a slight lead among Catholic men: 45 per cent to Clinton's 41 per cent.

However, Clinton has a considerable lead among Catholic women – 50 per cent to 35 per cent – and enjoys a lead among Catholic millennials (aged 18-33) and so-called Generation X members (aged 34-49). The candidates are nearly even among baby boomers (aged 50-68), with Clinton slightly in the lead, winning 46 per cent support compared to 42 per cent for Trump...

Some 72 per cent of those polled believe that abortion should be available to pregnant women who have contracted the Zika virus, and 70 per cent of Catholics do not think that companies should be allowed to use the owner's religious beliefs as a reason to deny services to a customer or employee. - Catholics, Especially Latinos And Women, Favour Clinton Over Trump ...

Because they think God wants them to give away other people's money. It makes them feel good, and it doesn't take any effort.

Total unadulterated Irish BS. I don’t believe it for one second...

No one is going to vote for this POS Hillary Clinton. They won’t.

Forget what’s going on now. I refuse to watch TV or listen only to Fox Business. I won’t listen to the Trump tapes.

Is the guy a closet porn watcher? Maybe you start getting in that territory, I might consider getting upset, but let’s not forget who dumped this crap on him...

The Bush Family.

Let see what else kicks out.

You can go to Google and see all kinds of stuff on Trump going back to when he’s a toddler.

These are Catholics that support their fake Pope too. I used to be Catholic, just like I used to be Republican.

You are not a Catholic in your heart if you can support someone like Hillary Clinton.

Her position on abortion alone is reason enough but there is so much more.

Same apostate ‘Christians’ that like homosexual bishops, women pastors, language-neutered Bibles, abortion on demand in church employee health insurance, clown masses and churches housing and supporting thousands of muzzie refugees for government $$$.

And no crimes happen with Protestant pastors? No institution consisting of humans will be free of sin...even one that was made by Jesus(it was He who founded the Catholic Church).

As Rush has stated many times, “Liberals are liberals first.”

That includes liberal Catholics.
