Some key findings:

1) Of the 18 faith groups identified in the polls, McCain is only leading among evangelicals and it's a narrow lead. Obama leads among the other 17 faith groups identified including the born again vote (Barna notes that would mark the first time in more than two decades that the born again vote has swung toward the Democratic candidate).

2) McCain has a narrow lead among evangelicals but a third say they're undecided and McCain's support is weakening among the group:

While some Christian voters seem to be questioning their early support for Obama, the McCain candidacy does not seem to be gaining momentum among evangelicals. Since June, the current level of support Sen. McCain has among evangelical voters has declined significantly (dropping from 78% to 61%).

3. I'm very happy about this

Though I'm pretty much religiously undecided I come from a long line of Catholics, many if not all of whom are Republicans and they're all one issue voters (abortion of course). Now I can tell them Christians can be Democrats too and convince them to vote for Barack Obama (hopefully!) :woohoo:

4. He's also leading with hispanics, jews, AA's, the working class, etc.

Yet, the media and republican polling agencies keep telling us that it is a tie.

He can't win Hispanics! He has a problem with working-class racist...er, white voters!
