Combined data from the two most recent Gallup polls show that Catholic registered voters who attend church weekly, a group that represents about one-third of all Catholic registered voters, support Bush over Kerry by a 52 percent to 42 percent margin.

It's a little surprising Kerry gets that much of a percentage. But one would have to factor in the general tendencies of Americans not to be informed or educated on such matters. And those in certain income brackets who have been led to believe they will receive more government benefits from liberal policies. That accounts for a large slice of votes for Democrats.

Yes, and another group that I have noticed around here (southcentral MN) is the dyed-in-the-wool FDR voter. These are usually retired farmers who think every vote for DFL (Democrats here) is a vote for FDR or the "real" JFK. Catholic or not, they won't "waste" a vote.
