New EWTN Poll: Most Catholics Don’t Want Biden to Run for a Second Term
Catholic News Agency ^ | 10/3/22 | Matthew Bunson

Washington, D.C. Newsroom, Oct 3, 2022 / 16:00 pm Most Catholics believe that President Joe Biden, the nation’s second Catholic president, should not run for a second term in 2024, according to a new EWTN News/RealClear Opinion Research Poll of likely Catholic voters released Monday.

The poll, conducted Sept. 12–19, shows Biden continues to face challenges in garnering support among Catholic voters in the run-up to Election Day on Nov. 8. In particular, the poll indicates waning support for the president among Hispanic Catholic voters, traditionally a strong source of support for the Democratic Party.

Among other highlights of the poll, Catholic voters rank inflation and the economy as the most critical issues facing the country, and most say they are very concerned about the state of education, especially after the lockdowns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Much of the poll’s results provide a snapshot of how Catholic voters assess Biden’s performance after two years in office.

When asked how they feel Biden is handling his job as president, nearly 52% of Catholic voters said they either disapproved (5%) or strongly disapproved (47%); around 46% either approved (32%) or strongly approved (14%). Notably, the strong disapproval number was significantly higher than strongly approved. Only 2% of voters had no opinion.

A majority of Catholics (58%) feel that Biden should not run for a second term in 2024, while only 22% support a possible re-election bid; 19% of Catholics are not sure. Most Catholics (67%-27% with 10% not sure) also do not want former President Donald Trump to run for president again in 2024.

insanity seems to be universal across categories. Every poll of Biden vs Trump across any field variable is 50-50, except maybe Ivy League graduates where it is 96-4 and the 4 are the tokens who never learned to read and couldn’t follow party instructions filling in the ballot.

Everything this phony does is contrary to being a Catholic man.

He is no Catholic and should be excommunicated.

But But But Biden is a very staunch and devout Catholic,.... isn’t he?
Surely they would want one of the faithful in the highest office.
Wouldn’t they?

If we’ve learned anything of the past, we know Christians are the targets of Satan. Catholic Christians are not exempt, if anything they’re a major target, as there are militant Marxists leading many of them to damnation.

No, not every poll, based upon approval now:

Actually, ALL “Catholics” don’t want him to run for a second term. In fact, no true Catholic voted for him his last time out. The CINOs did, but faithful Catholics—especially those who assist at the TLM—absolutely voted against him.

It’s hyperbole and a slam against Ivy League graduates.
