The point of the article was not to compare Catholics to white evangelicals. The point was an inter-Catholic comparison. Is that so hard for you to understand. I think everyone knows that white evangelicals, who are predominately in the South, vote overwhelmingly Republican. Blacks and Jewish Voters on the other hand vote overwhelmingly Democrat. Catholics are perhaps the last swing independent voters in the Country. Trump won Catholic votes 52-45. Nixon won them in 72, Reagan by a landslide in 84. Obama slightly won them in 2008 and 2012.
Your post I was responding to was about white Catholics, which was thus what my post focused on . The mention of white evangelicals was part of the data that was included in that citation, but which i am not sure i even remembered seeing.

The problem is that they voted Democrats in 13 times the last 17 elections, but yes, there is no contention that Catholics are perhaps the last swing independent voters in the Country.
