Biden leads Trump by 12 points among Catholic voters: poll
The Hill ^ | Sep 21 2020 | BRETT SAMUELS

Posted on 09/21/2020 7:27:28 PM PDT by rintintin

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden holds a 12-point lead over President Trump among likely voters who identify as Catholic, according to a poll released Monday.

A EWTN News/RealClear Opinion poll found in a poll of 1,212 likely Catholic voters that 53 percent favor Biden, compared to 41 percent who prefer Trump. The poll was taken before the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

The poll found that 50 percent of respondents voted for 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton while 45 percent voted for Trump, a sign that Biden has widened the gap among Catholic voters.

Catholics who are more devout about going to church tend to back Trump, according to the poll. Fifty-eight percent of Catholics who attend Mass daily back the president, as do 61 percent of those who attend services more than once a week. By comparison, 69 percent of Catholics who seldom attend Mass support Biden.

“69 percent of Catholics who seldom attend Mass support Biden.“

The problem is, during covid almost all Catholics “seldom attend mass”, due to shutdowns

All the polls are garbage.
They’re just meant to weaken resolve and turnout.

So, Trump goes from +4 (2016) to -12 with Catholics.

IMHO this is the key vote for 2020. The RCC vote has gone for the gop candidate four times since 1952. It’s essential the RCC vote comes in for Trump.

79.3% of Catholics are too smart to answer a poll or to give correct responses.
Where did I get that figure? I just made it up :)

So if you say you’re a Catholic, but never go to church you’re voting for Biden. If you’re an actual practicing Catholic you’re overwhelmingly supporting Trump.

Not sure I would headline this poll as “Catholics” support Biden

You’re not Catholic if you don’t go to mass.

Trump is 90%+ with (real) Catholics.
Unfortunately only about 30% of Catholics are Catholic.

Especially anything from the Hill, a wretched publication who lies bigly without using numbers.

I do not know why not. Most Catholics are liberals and have always supported the Democrat Party in elections. Most of the bishops are very liberal and support Biden. Most of my family that lives in the USA who are Catholics are very far to the left and support the BLM and Biden.

I hope you’re right.

Meanwhile, PDJT will address the National Catholic Breakfast on Wednesday for the first time.
