Voting Christians

Here were some interesting facts I ran across on the internet today. They are from George Barna's research group's website.

·
People who had read from the Bible during the past seven days, other than at church, are both more likely to vote. They are also more likely to support President Bush (42% vs. 31% for Mr. Kerry).

·People who had attended a church worship service during the past seven days are both more likely to vote. They are also more likely to support President Bush (47% compared to 26% of church attenders who back Mr. Kerry).

·People who had discussed a moral issue with someone during the past seven days are both more likely to vote and more likely to support President Bush (41% vs. 34%).

·People who had turned off a television program they were watching during the past seven days because of the morals and values it presented are both more likely to vote and more likely to support President Bush (45% vs. 29%).

·The larger the church of the likely voter, the more likely he/she is to vote in November. In churches with less than 200 people, 41% are likely to vote, compared to 53% in churches of 200-499 adults, 61% in churches of 500-999 adults, and 63% in churches of 1000 or more adults.

·The larger the church of the likely voter, the more likely he/she is to vote for President Bush in November. In churches with less than 200 people, 47% are likely to vote for George Bush, compared to 65% in churches of 1000 or more adults.

·Evangelicals and non-evangelical born again Christians are substantially more likely than other faith segments to vote in November.

·Adults who have an “active faith” – that is, they have attended a church service, read the Bible outside of church and prayed to God during the past seven days – are not only one-third more likely to vote than other Americans, but they are also likely to support President Bush by a 3-to-1 margin (65% versus 20%).

***

Only 20% of people with an "active faith" are going to vote for Kerry. That's an interesting statistic.

I don't have any other thoughts today. My mind is numb and blank.

Watch out for the potholes.
