A significant religious divide has opened up in the country. IBD/TIPP polls taken in March and April show that Christians — including both Protestants and Catholics — strongly oppose President Obama on almost every issue, from his economic policies, to his attempts at a deal with Iran, to his immigration policies. Those Americans without religious affiliation remain enthusiastic supporters.
Interestingly, Catholics and Protestants — groups sometimes viewed as diverging politically — are in close agreement on most issues.
One exception is immigration, where 61% of Catholics favor securing the border first over comprehensive reform vs. 46% of Protestants.
Also a surprise is the fact that Catholics give Obama slightly lower approval ratings than Protestants (37% vs. 40%). Protestants, on the other hand, are somewhat more supportive of Israel, the polls found.
