I think that religious affiliation doesn’t matter that much when it comes to voting. In other words, I think he picked up a sizeable minority of Catholics not based on their religion, but because they were union members in traditionally democrat, blue collar districts.

I think that religious affiliation doesn’t matter that much when it comes to voting.

It absolutely does, Jews have NEVER voted republican in our history, Protestants have only voted democrat 3 times (1932,1936,1964) and Catholics have only voted republican five times, (only voting against a dem incumbent once, 1980), and we all know how Evangelicals vote.

It clearly means a lot.
