Commentary

Democrat

        Obama won all attendance categories by margins ranging from three percentage points (more-than-weeklies) to 19 percentage points (weeklies). Obama won both the Catholic and the Protestant (including “Other Christian”) votes, doing notably better among non-African American Catholics than anywhere else in the country, at least through the February 9 Louisiana primary. White Catholics did break in favor of Clinton, but only by four percentage points (50 percent to 46 percent). Obama did best among the Other Christians and the non-Judeo-Christians.

Republican

        On the attendance scale, Huckabee came close to a majority of the More-than-weeklies (46 percent), and got a bare plurality of the Weeklies (35 percent). McCain got the Monthlies and Romney the Few-times-a-years and the Nevers. Huckabee got 41 percent of the evangelicals—not quite enough to win, given that McCain picked up 24 percent of them (Romney got 30 percent). Among Protestants (including Other Christians) as a whole, Huckabee prevailed with 37 percent, while with 46 percent of the Catholics, McCain more than doubled Huckabee’s 21 percent. (Romney garnered 29 percent of the Catholic vote.)
