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.)
