Klobuchar led among voters who attend weekly religious services in New Hampshire

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) in Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary led among voters who say they attend weekly religious services.

Klobuchar held a 12 percentage point advantage among voters who attend religious services at least once a week, with 28 percent backing her. Sixteen percent of those voters supported former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, and about 15 percent went with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

Voters who attend weekly religious services made up 11 percent of the voters surveyed, while 37 percent of voters said they 'occasionally' attend religious services and 51 percent said they never do.

Of the occasional servicegoers, 26 percent backed Buttigieg, with Klobuchar earning 23 percent and Sanders gaining 20 percent.

Sanders had a 12 percentage point advantage among those who never attend religious services, reaching 34 percent support. In that demographic, Buttigieg had 22 percent backing and Klobuchar had 19 percent.

Edison Media Research for the National Election Pool conducted the survey along with several media organizations, including The Washington Post. The pollsters randomly selected 2,935 voters as they exited New Hampshire polls Tuesday. The margin of error is 4 percentage points.

I wonder if there is a significant group of persuadable religious voters.

I know not all "evangelicals" support Trump and for damn sure not all Christians are evangelicals.

Blue vs brown eyed voters

Shorter vs taller voters

Atheists vs Jews

Men 18-29 originally from away vs women 30-45 from Coos County

Women who attended community college in Michigan vs men who attended diesel mechanic school on Arizona

IOW, give me a fucking break.

I think this is representative of the choice at hand. Sanders offers greater enthusiasm to far left while Amy and Bloomberg offer some crossover appeal.

No question which one I'd prefer. I always scoff at turnout in relation to raw preference, and always will.

Turnout is fool's salvation
