Thanks to Christians, but no-thanks to Jews, atheists, agnostics, and other
religions
Mark Silk reports for Religion News
<http://marksilk.religionnews.com/2014/11/05/how-religion-played-in-the-midterm-elections/>,
Oct. 5, 2014, that according to exit polls
<http://www.cnn.com/election/2014/results/race/house#exit-polls> on
November 4, America's various religious groups voted almost the same in the
2014 midterm elections as they did in the last midterm election in 2010
<http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2010/results/polls/#val=USH00p2>, and not much
different from the 2012 presidential election
<http://www.cnn.com/election/2012/results/race/president>.
Christians
- *Protestants voted Republican* 59% to 38% in 2010; 57-42 in 2012;
and *60-38
in 2014.*
- White Protestants voted Republican from 69-28 in 2010 to 71-27 in
2014.
- *Catholics voted Republican* 54% to 44% in 2010; voted narrowly for
Democrats 50-48 in 2012; then back to favoring Republican *53-45 in
2014.*
- Regular church attenders (once a week or more) voted Republican 58-40
in 2010, 59-39 in 2012, and 58-41 in 2014.
No Religion (atheists and agnostics)
- *Voted Democratic* 68% to 30% in 2010; and *69-29 in 2014.*
- Although the No Religions are now 20% of the adult U.S. population,
they accounted for only 12% of the 2014 voters.
Other Religions
The one group that appears to have shifted significantly compared to the
last midterm were members of “other religions” — Jews, Muslims, Hindus,
Buddhists, Sikhs, etc.
- More voters in 2014 were of "other religions," increasing from 8% of
all voters in 2010 to 11% in 2014.
- 3 out of 4 "other religions" *voted Democratic* in 2010, decreasing
somewhat to *2 out of 3 in 2014.*
- But the decrease of "other religions" who voted Democratic in 2014
came from non-Jews because --
- *The majority of American Jews remain stubbornly Democrat*, despite
Obama's treatment of Israel, including a senior White House insulting
Israeli prime minister by calling him a "chickenshit
<http://fellowshipoftheminds.com/2014/10/31/whos-the-chicken-shit-benjamin-netanyahu-or-barack-obama/>.
Jews voted Democratic by 66% to 31% in 2010
<http://jstreet.org/blog/post/making-sense-of-the-jewish-vote_2>,
and by *65-33
in 2014. *
*~Eowyn*
Be that as it may, it does look as though there’s been some shift away from
the Democrats on the part of those who attend worship irregularly. Perhaps
charges of an Obamaite “war on religion” by evangelical and Catholic
leaders have gotten through.
