Pew: Overall 'God gap' narrow, evangelical 'God gap' narrowing
Yesterday's Pew election poll pitted Giuliani versus Clinton in the general election, and the data reflects what the news has been saying ever since last November: the Republican advantage among Christians is evaporating. (The poll didn't have breakdowns of Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, or Hindus). Comparing the '04 presidential exit polls and Pew's latest survey, Clinton has gained 9 points among weekly churchgoers, and nips at Giuliani's heels 48-52. The gap amongst white evangelicals is still a yawning 33-67, but that's an 11-point improvement from the last election. Clinton gained ground amongst every religious category except mainline protestants, from whom she lost one percentage point.
