Commentary

Democrat
Obama won all the attendance categories handily, from 67 percent of the More-than-weeklies to 54 percent of the Few-times-per-years. He won Protestants 51 percent to 44 percent and lost Catholics, narrowly, 48 percent to 45 percent. White Catholics voted for Clinton by larger margins, 56-36 and 48-41 respectively. Jews split 60-40 in her favor.

Republican
Huckabee won only the More-than-weeklies, by 55 percent to 32 percent. All other attendance groups voted for McCain by healthy margins (even the Weeklies, 50-37). Evangelicals, constituting 34 percent of voters, went for Huckabee, but only by 50 percent to 36 percent, far short of sufficient given McCain’s dominance of the non-evangelicals by 65 percent to 19 percent. McCain prevailed over Huckabee among Protestants (including Other Chirstians) by 51 percent to 35 percent, and among Catholics by 60 percent to 22 percent.
