The survey, which involved interviewing 1004 adults over the phone, reported that born again Christians supported President George W. Bush by a 62% to 38% margin. Non-born again voters were more likely to support Senator John Kerry than Bush, 59 to 39 percent.
Although the born again population constitutes just 38% of the national population, the survey said, it represented 53% of the vote cast in the election. The survey suggested that if the born again public had shown up proportional to its population size, Senator Kerry would have won the election by the same three-point margin of victory enjoyed by Mr. Bush.
Evangelical Christians also helped re-elect Bush, constituting 11% of the voters and chose President Bush by an 85% to 15% margin, shows the survey.
Do these statistics say that “born-again” and “Evangelical” are not the same thing? And there are more “born-again”? mjh
