A new poll by Pew Research Center shows a slim majority of U.S. Catholics intending to cast their ballot for former president Donald Trump in November, with Trump and Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris in a dead heat among the entire electorate as the election contest enters its final weeks.
The poll, released Monday, found that “U.S. religious groups that traditionally have leaned Republican are backing former president Donald Trump by wide margins,” while groups that have historically backed Democrats “are mostly supporting Vice President Kamala Harris.”
Among Catholics, 52% said they were backing Trump in the race, compared with 47% who said they favored Harris.
Trump’s support rose to 61% among white Catholics, while Harris commanded a sizable 65% share of Hispanic Catholics.
An earlier Pew survey from February found that 42% of Catholics held a favorable view of Trump, compared with 57% with an unfavorable view.
