Barna just released a poll that shows only 45 percent of “born again” voters plan for vote for John McCain while 43 percent plan to cast a vote for Barack Obama. Sixty-three percent of evangelicals plan to vote for McCain while 23 percent plan to vote for Obama.
Earlier this week, a Pew Center survey found that 67 percent of evangelicals for McCain while 24 plan to vote for Obama. Why the difference? The centers poll differently (the Pew Center looks at white evangelicals while the Barna poll includes African Americans), but the numbers are interesting.
Mark Silk points to recent regional Quinnipiac polls for McCain’s lead among evangelicals: Florida (71-23), Ohio (59-32), and Pennsylvania (63-32).
