Very interesting. I wouldn't have guessed Kerry did that well among Protestants.

The upshot: A one-time Democratic mainstay, Catholics gave Bush an overall edge of 53 percent to Kerry's 47 percent.

Overall, the mainline Protestant vote split evenly, the poll found, with a Bush decline of 10 percent from 2000 and the best showing for a Democrat since the 1960s; results before then are unclear.

The Protestant churches that endorse homosexual pastors or a feel good approach to Christianity would have been where he drew his support. Many mainline Protestants have been leaving in favor of non denominational churches as result.

This does prove as I thought before the election. the Faith block is where the growth is for the Party. Those attuned to their Faith are far more likely to support Republicans, recognizing the state of the democrat Party. The spinsters misrepresented the "values" exit polling. Faith and values are a fundamental aspect of who someone is. Therefore they view all issue including the war through that lens. They've been trying to separate religion from the issues, that isn't how it works in a believer's life.

If you take out all the Protestants In Name Only and members of the liberal denominations, Kerry probably did very poorly.
