Commentary

Democrat
Clinton won all the attendance categories except for the More-than-weeklies (10 percent of the whole), who went to Obama by the substantial margin of 56 percent to 34 percent. Clinton won white Protestants by a large margin, 66 percent to 32 percent—not much less than she won white Catholics (71 percent to 26 percent). Jews went strongly for Clinton as well, by 63 percent to 37 percent. Obama’s biggest win was among the Other Christians (72 percent to 25 percent), followed by the non-Judeo-Christians (61 percent to 35 percent), and the Nones (51 percent to 49 percent).

Republican
McCain won all attendance categories, with Huckabee only creeping up among the More-than-weeklies. McCain won the evangelical vote as well, solidly, with 38 percent—and Romney actually beat out Huckabee for the lion’s share of the balance, 28 percent to 26 percent. McCain won all the religious groupings handily, with Huckabee only establishing a substantial position among the Other Christians, at 30 percent to McCain’s 50 percent. Romney was in the 30 percent range among Protestants (not including Other Christians) and Catholics.
