Study: Born Again Christians Favor Democratic Candidates
Last month, a number of leading figures in the evangelical community wrote to the major polling and news media political directors about exit polling methodology that left out persons of faith from Democratic figures.
DNC Chief of Staff Leah Daughtry penned an op-ed in the Washington Post along these same lines.
Earlier this month, the Christian Post reported on a recent study that showed born-again Christians favoring a Democrat over a Republican in presidential preferences in generic polling.
The new Barna study shows that if the general election was held today, 40 percent of all born again adults who are likely to vote in November would choose the Democratic candidate, and only 29 percent would choose the Republican candidate. The remaining 28 percent are currently unsure whom they would support, preferring to vote for a specific candidate rather than strictly along party lines.
