In the 2014 midterm elections, the Republican Party enlarged its majority in the U.S. House of Representatives with continued strong support from white evangelicals and people who attend religious services regularly. In addition, the GOP appears to have made inroads among some religious constituencies that traditionally have not been as supportive of Republican candidates.
. . .
This year’s exit poll data show little to no change in the voting patterns of Catholics since the 2010 congressional elections. Catholics voted for Republican House candidates over Democratic candidates by a 54%-45% margin in 2014, and white Catholics supported the GOP over the Democratic Party by a 22-point margin (60% to 38%) this year, similar to 2010.
.
Groups that have traditionally voted Democratic did so again this year. Among those with no religious affiliation, 69% voted for Democrats, as did 66% of Jewish voters. However, Democrats appear to have lost some ground with Jews since the 2006 midterm cycle, the last midterm elections in which a sufficiently large number of Jewish voters were included in the exit poll to analyze their voting patterns. In 2006, Jewish voters favored Democratic candidates over Republicans by a 75-point margin (87% to 12%). In 2014, by contrast, the margin of victory for Democratic House candidates among Jewish voters nationwide was 33 points (66% to 33%). The 2006 election, however, represents the high-water mark of Jewish support for Democratic candidates in recent congressional elections. Jewish voters’ level of support for the Democratic Party in 2014 was similar to that seen in the 2012 presidential election year.
My take on the above data is that SOME groups have awakened to the fact that the globalist liberal propaganda about meeting their needs has long been a bunch of hot air.
Perhaps they are even beginning to suspect the truth--that a lot of such "minority groups" have been essentially made slaves all over again by a ruthless, corrupt, hostile political machine that has USED THEM mercilessly and with great callousness and aforethought to the globalists' own political ends--which actually, have been very hostile to minority families and the freedoms and economic livelihoods of minority individuals.
