This is not a scientific poll. But survey results from Christianity Today’s Website this week showed that Barack Obama was more popular with evangelical Christians than his Republican counterpart, John McCain. The poll found about 51 percent of evangelicals supported Obama, while only 41 percent support McCain.
My how the tables have turned. Last month, CT readers gave McCain a 17-point edge. No more.
We know Obama has been doing a lot of outreach to evangelicals. If this poll were representative, and a sampling of 3,200 IP addresses voting at Christianitytoday.com likely is not, it would spell very, very bad news for McCain. A Democratic presidential candidate hasn’t captured the evangelical vote since Jimmy Carter in 1976, and the Republicans know how that turned out.
John Green, the religion and politics guru at Pew, said last month that if McCain received less than 67 percent of white evangelical votes, it could cause a “political earthquake.” And you know what earthquakes can cause: landslides.

Speaking again of speaking too soon, they are close to even, and the big news is that the trend lines crossed just five minutes ago.
I really have no evidence for this, but something tells me that evangelicals use the internet and thus vote on internet websites less than the average population, but vote for real more than the average population.
I’m not surprised more evangelicals can identify with O’bama’s values than McCain’s. Once I learned how McCain’s adulterous relationship caused him to leave his 1st wife and how Cindy McCain stole drugs from her nonprofit foundation to feed her drug addiction, I can neither identify with or support him.
Well, you know them better than I do. What are Ob’bama’s values, btw?
As a Christian, choosing between McCain and Obama is like choosing the lesser of two evils. True, McCain is nothing to write home about, but adultery can be forgiven by God. Having a pro stance on gay rights and abortion is totally non-Biblical. Additionally, from a secular point of view, Obama is completely inexperienced on international affairs, along with a myriad of other things. If elected, America will be in for a world of hurt. Mark my words!
Well, now that Steven Strang has left a vacancy for a religious endorsement, on the stage at Barack’s coronation ceremony, maybe Barack should come out of the closet and recruit the religious leaders who have always supported him ... and, who Barack has always supported. Pastor Jeremiah Wright ... Father Phleiger ... and the rest of the radicals. But, we know Barack won’t do that, because even though that represents who Barack truly is ... it wouldn’t help Barack deceive us ... and get him elected. In November. Vote for a man who truly loves America, with over 40 years of service and sacrafice ... not Obama, an inexperienced, incompetent, empty suit, who is being agressively packaged and sold to the American people.
Hey Guy’s the whole fact of the matter is
He Obama said qouted from an article from a campaign stop! Senator Barack Obama has told an audience that although he believes Christ died for his sins, those who reject that teaching can also be children of God.
Senator Obama told the audience that he believes he “can have everlasting life” because Jesus Christ died for his sins. But he then told a questioner that he believes Jews and Muslims who live moral lives are just as much “children of God” as he is.
The Illinois Democrat added that his late mother didn’t share his faith but was a kind and generous person, so he’s “sure she’s in heaven.”So taken from his own words you do not have to except christ to go to heaven! How can anyone who calls themselves a christian or a born again child of god,born again because jesus is the way the truth and the light and no one can come to the father but thru me (being jesus),vote for anyone who blatantly states the opposite and claims to be a christian!
whether he’s white,black or any other color. Don’t just take my words for it look it up yourselves! please wake up people!
