Kamala Harris didn’t pray with Christians — but won over unbelievers: poll

LAS VEGAS — A new poll finds that Vice President Kamala Harris doesn’t pray with the nation’s Christians.

Pollster George Barna of Arizona Christian University’s Center for Cultural Research said Wednesday that Democrats won a decisive victory only among those who said they had “no religious beliefs,” getting 64% of the vote.

The crisis of confidence in the Harris-Walz ticket among Christian voters comes after the veep’s failure to garner support from Muslims, according to exit polls by the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Issued This week.

And exit polls from Fox News and the Associated Press show that 32% of Jewish Americans voted for President-elect Donald Trump this year, up from 24% in a 2016 New York Times exit poll and up from 24% in the same Fox-AP poll four years later. Was 30%. First.

Jewish voters in swing states also leaned more toward Trump this year.

Exit polls show the former president received 38% of the Jewish vote in Arizona, up from 30% in 2020; 42% in Nevada, nearly double the 22% four years ago; and 41% in Pennsylvania, up from 26% in 2020.

Barna said the lame-duck veep lost the overall Christian vote to Trump by 13 points, 43% to 56%. He said that demographic accounted for 72% of the 2024 voting percentage.

Catholics, who account for 23% of the vote this year, gave Trump a 51% majority versus Harris’ 49% majority.

Barna said the media’s continued attacks on Trump supporters, accusing them of being “white Christian nationalists”, also fueled voter resistance to Harris.

He said, “Because of the constant criticism of Christians by the mainstream media, as well as the dramatic impact of today’s culture on Christians, Americans forget that two-thirds of adults in this country consider themselves Christians.”

The veteran pollster said many Christians considered Harris’ emphasis on abortion, open borders and socialism “inconsistent” with their faith.

Twenty-one percent of traditional black churchgoers and 16% of young born-again Christians said they have taken those supports into account.

The Post received no response for comment from the Harris-Walz campaign or the Rev. Jennifer Butler, the pastor of the Progressive Presbyterian Church (USA), who led its “faith outreach.”
