The Barna Group for research says Obama is statistically tied (43 percent to 45 percent) with Republican John McCain among born-again Christian voters. “Born-again Christians” are defined by Barna as people who say they have made a personal commitment to Jesus and believe they will go to heaven because they have confessed their sins and accepted Jesus Christ as their savior. Based on that definition, 48 percent of all voters in this election will be “born-again” Christians.
Meantime, Barna says 63 percent of “evangelicals” are supporting McCain, while 23 percent are supporting Obama. “Evangelicals” meet the “born-again” criteria, plus seven other conditions, including the belief that salvation is only possible through grace, not works.
That's it. Plain and simple.
UNLESS: your're talking about black ("born-again" - there's no other flavor of Christian) Christians.
Then "significant" is the right word.
This is a steaming load of propaganda just like the NASCAR Fan poll that supported Obama. Another poll, another waste of time.....
“48% of the voters in this election will be born-again Christians.”
Umm...nope.
It is hard to believe a person is a Christian and voting for Obama. Think of it.
Gay Marriage
Abortion
and One size fits all Religion!!!
NO THANKS!
People is stupid.
Those
“Christians”
obviously have little to no clue about God’s heart and priorities.
If anyone claims to be “born again” and with eyes open votes for Obama, I can say with assurance that they have been “born again” as a spawn of Satan.
I have noticed someone writing letters to the editor in our local paper, supporting Obama and demeaning Palin (spreading the book banning lie) as well as saying she was incompetent and inexperienced.
The person always identified himself as a minister. I finally had enough of him and wrote a piece excoriating him on all his many errors.
My last two lines were apropos to this thread: I suppose the question I have is, “Minister of what?”. A place where there is no sanctity for the life God has given us is not a Church, but rather, a heretical social club.
At my daughters private Christian school, about half the families are for Obama. I don’t get it.
We grew up in Texas, but now live in California. I don’t get Californian Christians at times.
TOTAL COMPLETE NONSENSE. They better go read what The Bible has to say about Homosexuality and how God hates the hands that shed innocent blood (Abortion).
BS meter needed!
Here is a break down of the California vote, McCain/Palin have pulled within 22 points of Obama.
At the link is a breakdown of voters including religion, income, race, etc, etc, the only group that Palin/McCain win in are protestant evangelicals.

Oh yeah I believe that just like I believe Obama is a Christian, just like Obama didn't know Rev Wright was a racist, just like Obama didn't know Ayres was a terrorist, just like the News media isn't biased.... like....LMAO...these people are nuts.
>>Huh? Someone please explain this nonsense to me.<<
It’s easy. A lot of born again Christians are black. All humans are racist to some degree or another. A lot of blacks are voting for him because he is black and really pretty ignorant of all the things we discuss here.
A similar thing happened with white people regarding Jimmy Carter. It wasn’t racial in that case, but the simple fact that he was the “Christian” candidate was enough for them. I was accutely aware of it because I was NOT a Christian at the time and then became one. I was dumbfounded by my “conservative” friends support of him over Reagan until I remembered the Christian connection.
Race is very real in this election, even to those that won’t admit it to themselves.
Does Barry Obama consider himself a “born again” Christian?
Does this jabber remind anyone else of those IQ test questions?
“If all pogs are nogs and nogs are togs then...”
Nonsense.
I can totally see how some Evangelicals can sip the Obama Kool-aide. Heck, many of them fall traps to cult-like TV Evangelist who turn out to be total frauds.
Some of them are not real Christians at all IMO, they live through their feelings, and if something feels good they are hooked. Large crowds, cult-like charismatic leader, the feeling of the moment all come into play to these young Obamabots.
There are a lot of church goers, Christians who will not back Obama....lets not forget, Christians are sinners....they too have prejudices!
