Commentary

Democrat
Nothing much to note here, where Clinton served as First Lady. Of all religious groupings, only African-American Protestants backed Obama, by three-to-one. The closest Obama came in any other segment of the religious demographic pie was among the eight percent of Arkansans who profess some other religion (Hindu, Buddhist, etc.); they went for Clinton by only 55 percent to 42 percent. Those of no religion cast 69 percent of their votes for her.

Republican
Even less to report in Mike Huckabee’s home state. Huckabee swept the table. The closest of the 25 percent of Arkansas Republicans who said they were not evangelicals, McCain carried 33 percent to Huckabee’s 41 percent. Among the few-times-a-year attenders, Huckabee got 45 percent to McCain’s 31 percent. (There weren’t enough Catholics or others or zero attenders to register on the poll).
