It’s sad for a Catholic to admit that the political scene would be much better off if we had more evangelical voters and fewer Catholics. But it’s true.

But rather than admit that ,some defenders of Rome actually blamed evangelicals for Obama being elected, since many did not vote, and only 80% of those who did voted for Romney.

In the 2012 election (preliminary exit-poll analysis), white Evangelicals (23% of the electorate) voted 79%/20% Romney/Obama; Protestants overall (53% of the electorate) voted 57%/42%; black Protestants (9% of the electorate) and other Christian voted 5%/95%; Catholics overall (25% of the electorate) voted 48%/50%; white Catholics (18% of the electorate) voted 59%/40%; and Hispanic Catholics (5% of the electorate) voted 21%/75% Romney/Obama http://www.pewforum.org/Politics-and-Elections/How-the-Faithful-Voted-2012-Preliminary-Exit-Poll-Analysis.aspx

Meanwhile, the term "evangelical" has become watered down, to include many who are not fundamental Bible Christians, whose percentage is likely decreasing. Thus I prefer the term "traditional evangelicals."
