Obama camp launches desperate ad as Catholic vote crumbles. 82% of the Catholics voted for JFK. The census estimates the number of Catholics in 2010 at 58.9 million. What percentage of Catholic voters do you think will vote for Obama?

supermarket catholics...can vote either way...bark
BTW, that's cute the way you cite the percentage that voted for JFK, as that's representative of what Democrats get. JFK got the overwhelming majority of Catholics because he was Catholic.
And in the close election most experts are predicting, getting just 15% of the over 20 million Catholics voting will seal it for Romney and America.
Also, that phenomenon you refer to? 2008 proves that it doesn't actually exist. The polls were completely accurate about who was going to vote for Obama then. Why do you think it's different now? Other than because you wish that were the case, I mean.
In 2000, 50% of all Catholics voted for Gore, although only 47% of white Catholics did.
In 2004, 47% of all Catholics voted for Kerry, but only 43% of white Catholics.
In 2008, 54% of all Catholics voted for Obama, but only 47% of white Catholics.

In 2012, I predict 46% of all Catholics will vote for Obama but only 41% of white Catholics will vote for him.
I wish the percentage of Obama supporters would be even lower in 2012, but Catholic voters and Jewish voters have one thing in common: Their religious affiliation and their religion's values are way down on their list of priorities used to pick their candidate. Therefore the unborn, Israel, and the family suffer.
