More bad news for Democrats.

They may want to rethink the abortion-palooza they’ve planned for the DNC.


In 2008 Barack Obama carried 54% of the Catholic vote. Today only 27% of Catholics support Obama.


There are over 77 million Catholics in the United States.

The American Life League reported:
Between August 15-19 of this year, American Life League commissioned a nationwide telephone survey of 900 self-identified Catholic registered voters. The focus of the survey was Catholic perspectives on the Church and nation. Below are some of the results of the survey.


Only 27 percent of the Catholics surveyed support President Obama. Of those surveyed, 74 percent of Catholic men over the age of 50 do not support Obama, while Obama support among Catholic men under 50 years is only 25 percent. With Catholic women over the age of 50, the president’s support is only 23 percent, with just 31 percent among Catholic women under 50 years.


American Life League speculates that such a dramatic shift may be caused by Obama’s HHS mandates and ensuing legal battle over religious freedom, as 73 percent of Catholics polled believe that the mandates violate their religious freedom.


“This nationwide survey revealed surprising results that should cause our leaders to pause and consider the consequences of their decisions and the impact it has on their constituents.


Can Obama’s support among Catholics be dwindling this fast?” said Paul E. Rondeau, ALL executive director. “One thing is certain: Catholics, like most Americans, feel strongly about their religious rights and are committed to defending their faith. Both Church and national leaders should heed this notice.”
This week the Barack Obama Campaign denied Catholic Cardinal Timothy Dolan’s request to say a prayer at the DNC.

Good. The more Obama loses the crazy pedophile cult vote, he more than makes up with gaining women, secular Catholic, and independent voters.

Besides, loony church-going Catholics voted for McCain in 2008. Hardcore catholic cultists were NEVER going to vote for a pro-choice, pro-womens' rights, pro-gay marriage candidate for president.

No big loss.

Yup and its only going to get worse by election day. I live in a world of Catholic's from many segments of society. Even the Church going ones (mostly minorities) that voted for Obunger the first time are NOT happy with him. Catholics are very suspicious of Mormons. That is changing dramatically though as Romney gets his message out. Dont forget even in DEEP blue states like Kalifornia Catholics, Mormons and Blacks Got prop 8 passed.

Yes you Obamabots need to be scared.

I think most non-hispanic Catholics will vote for Romney.

Ya, those "brilliant" one -issue Catholic voters bring you such stellar do nothing politicians as Michelle(dingbatWingbat Nutjob ) Bachmann....



And with the Catholic's history of encouraging pedophilia by hiding and protecting child rapists I sure wouldn't want their backing...phew!!!

Good, I have no problem pushing out people who do not believe a woman has the right to choose, leave it to the Republicans to want to control a woman's body with more government control.

Ladies and gentleman, liberal tolerance.

By the way, Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden claim to be devout Catholics. I assume you will not be supporting them either, correct?
