The media can ignore it, but Obama is losing big among Catholics which will seal his doom

By Kevin “Coach” Collins

  Since such records have been kept no Democrat presidential candidate has ever lost the “Catholic vote” and won the general election. Republicans can win a general election despite losing the “Catholic vote” but a Democrat simply can’t. This makes Barack Obama’s war on Christians in general and Catholics in particular so dangerous for him and his Party.  

  The results of a new Pew survey of voters by religious affiliation, holds devastating news for Obama’s chances of reelection. The ease with which it can be found proves this news is being purposely ignored by a delusional media that believes Obama is cruising toward an easy reelection.

Pew found Mitt Romney with a commanding lead among Evangelical and Catholic voters that has actually grown by 5 and 8 points respectively in just the past month. Obama now trails Mitt Romney 73/20 among Evangelicals and 57/37 among White Catholics.

The significance of Pew’s findings among “White” Catholics grows geometrically when added to that of “Evangelicals” because it means that Obama is also on track to lose by a very large margin among Whites, who make up 2/3 of the electorate in November.

 Over the history of polling by religious affiliation the “Catholic vote” has served as a 90% accurate predictor of final results. Moreover the winning Catholic percentage has consistently been very close to the winners victorious percentage in the general election – Obama’s 54% of the Catholic vote was the same as his overall winning margin in 2008.

Democrats like Hubert Humphrey in 1968 have even won the Catholic vote with landslide numbers (56/37) and still lost their race. Conversely George McGovern was pummeled in 1972 when he was the loser among Catholics by 20 points.  

The fight is just getting underway

The hard numbers point to an electoral disaster for Obama and his Party next November. To avoid this total wipeout Obama has to reverse himself and back down from his demands that the Catholic Church change her doctrine to suit him. Since that is not going to happen the question becomes: How vigorous will the Catholic Church fight back?

If a new video titled Test of Fire: Election 2012  from a group called Catholics Called to Witness is an indicator of what is coming from Catholics who are determined to defeat Obama, his Election night will be a nightmare.  This brief video contains a chilling reminder that the way a Catholic votes next November will be recorded for “eternity.” This time Catholics are playing for keeps and starting with a huge lead.

    Are only WHITE (meaning, non hispanic?) Catholics allowed to vote in the US? Just curious! Why would they be the only Catholics counted here, seems rather racist. Anyway the way I see it Obama will FOR SURE get 7 out of 10 of the most Catholic states in the US — you can take that to the bank!! :o)

      Delusions can be quite comforting, but we deal in hard data here. Bring some facts and let’s talk about Obama winning “7 out of 10 Catholic states.”
      Thanks for writing and reading CiR,

    Coach, do you think the Catholic vote is somewhat synonymous with the union vote because of the Church's great stands for labor at the end of the 19th century? Sadly, anything that gets centralized without moral constraints becomes corrupt – even Commmunist. I see UFW's Dolores Huerta at Mass occasionally.

    I understand Katie a bit because you've been rightly pretty "statistical" about any hope for the Hispanic vote. I'm with these guys every day and can tell you there is a powerful ferment among them. Francisco compared Obama to Portofino Calles, Mexican dictator in the 1920-30's.
    My hope is to bring this to the fore along with a heavy traditional sign among Mexicans – Mexican Catholics finish making the Sign of the Cross by kissing their crossed thumb and forefinger. That "cross" was the only symbol of worship available after Calles desecrated and shut down the churches and murdered thousands of nuns and priests.
    Is this a new symbol of resistance against the coming "American Summer" the thugs are so diligently preparing for?

      There is a strong connection between Catholics and unions so you might be right. I think you may be dealing with the minority of Hispanics who will vote against Obama.
