Los Angeles, Nov 3, 2008 / 05:43 pm (CNA).- As the Tuesday elections approach, a new tracking poll from the Investor’s Business Daily shows Sen. John McCain leading Sen. Barack Obama among Catholics by 51 percent to 38 percent.

Among all voters, Obama leads McCain 46.7 percent to 44.6 percent. Among Protestants, McCain leads 55 to 36 percent.

The October 29-November 1 poll of 844 likely voters was conducted by TechnoMetrica Institute of Policy and Politics (TIPP) and claims a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points. TIPP was named the most accurate pollster of the 2004 election for coming within three tenths of a percentage point of George W. Bush’s actual margin of victory.

It should a 99% lead, but 35% would seem more like what it would be.

If accurate, that will leave a mark in Pennsylvania.

Let me get this straight — McCain wins the Catholic vote by 13 and the Protestant vote by 19? So why is he not ahead when the Catholic/Protestant voters far outnumber any other group?

McCain will win New Mexico and PA. Devout Mexican American Catholics in NM are calling Obama the Anti-Ch**st. Another Freeper posted it here and the info I have has this influential group working for McCain in NM. The first time they ever worked for a Rep.

The Catholic Church has a major issue with Obama. See 1683 AD at the Battle of Vienna to see it is not just abortion. The Pope and Church saved Europe from Islam then with the help of the Poles.

I talked to a person who does business with Africa. The person deals with pretty influential people from over there. They laugh because they said Obama is a Muslim. My guess is the Catholic Church knows this as well.

This is great news, but Latinos are all Catholics and I thought McCain was losing them badly?

Maybe he’s getting Midwestern non-Latino Catholics but not getting the Southwestern Latino Catholics.

Interestingly, the Hispanic vote has been totally ignored by the MSM in this election cycle, and there’s a reason for that: McCain will win a large chunk of that voting bloc. Hate to be racist, but Hispanics DO NOT LIKE Blacks. Simple as that!

It’s a start, but among TRUE Catholics it should be 100 to 0.

The Catholic Bishop’s gave us this past Sunday the “Hierarchy of Moral Truths” which basically says that there is no other issue more important than the sanctity of life and Catholics must vote on that issue above all others. So the faithful only has one choice and that is John McCain. Too bad there are so many “un-faithful” Catholics. I’m encouraged to see the numbers.

Don't Catholics and Protestants make up 95% of everyone in the US? How is Mc not leading overall?
