Commentary

Democrat
Clinton won in all the attendance categories except the More-than-weeklies (six percent), which Obama won 53 percent to 47 percent. Among the rest, only among the Nevers, did Clinton win by less than 10 points. In the religious groupings Clinton won Catholics by better than two-to-one and Jews by almost as much. Non-Judeo-Christians also voted for her, by 61 percent to 37 percent. Obama won the Protestants (including Other Christians), 51 percent to 47 percent, but Clinton won white Protestants, 57 percent to 40 percent. By 52 percent to 44 percent, Obama took the Nones (no religion).

Republican
In the attendance categories, Huckabee won a plurality of the More-than-weeklies, with 33 percent, and McCain too all the others handily. Only among the Nevers did he slip below the 50-percent mark; fully 18 percent of them went for Ron Paul—the Ayn Rand set. When it came to the evangelicals, McCain beat out Huckabee 38 percent to 30 percent, with Romney garnering 25 percent. Both Catholics and Protestants went for McCain by hefty margins. Among the Other Christians—mostly white evangelicals—McCain prevailed over Huckabee 43 percent to 30 percent.
