Catholics in the US have swung dramatically against President Biden in recent years, now boasting a significant statistical break towards his GOP challenger.
Pew Research released a report on Apr 30 exploring support for presidential candidates sorted by religious affiliation.
The poll found that 55% of Catholics support or lean towards supporting former President Donald Trump in a head-to-head against Biden.
Conversely, only 43% of Catholics support Biden in the same one-on-one pairing.
The 12% margin of support for Trump marks a significant shift from 2020 when he held an extremely narrow lead—50% to 49%.
Biden currently leads among Hispanic Catholics with a narrow 49%-47% split, but the close contest marks a major shift rightward for the demographic.
