Nationwide Poll Provides Beneath-the-Surface Look at Catholic Voters

Some major differences between practicing and non-practicing Catholics

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A just-completed nationwide poll provides new insights into America's Catholic voters, highlighting the ways in which they differ from the electorate as a whole. But the survey also examines in detail the ways in which the 65% of Catholics who practice their faith regularly differ from the 35% who do not. The poll was conducted for the Knights of Columbus by the Marist College Institute of Public Opinion between September 24 and October 3, 2008.

In some areas, the poll finds that Catholic voters' views are similar to the general population, on issues like government funding for the poor, amnesty for illegal immigrants, global warming, civil unions and same-sex marriage and a belief that the economy is the nation's number one problem. 70% of all registered voters and 70% of all registered practicing Catholics say they would vote for a candidate who believes marriage should only be between a man and a woman, including majorities of the electorate and of practicing Catholics who would "definitely vote for" such a candidate. Catholics and non-Catholics agree that America needs a moral makeover. 71% of all US residents and 73% of US Catholics believe that "the country's moral compass right now points in the wrong direction."

But in other areas, Catholic voters differ from the electorate as a whole. They are less likely to vote for a candidate who favors the death penalty, and more likely to favor a candidate who is committed to success in the war in Iraq.

Some of the most dramatic differences are found within the community of Catholic voters. 59% of practicing Catholics are pro-life, while 65% of non-practicing Catholics are pro-choice. Non-practicing Catholics are far more likely to be pro-choice than the population at large (65% vs. 50%). Only 30% of US residents favor same-sex marriage, while 46% of non-practicing Catholics do. 75% of practicing Catholics oppose same-sex marriage.

Parental notification if a daughter under 18 is planning to have an abortion is supported by 77% of U.S. residents, and by 84% of practicing Catholics.

Full details of the poll results can be found at www.kofc.org.
