Welcome to IWETHEY!

New If you assume the polls had a representative sample...
New Polling is fairly accurate
We know how to do it. We know how to do it wrong, but we also know how to do it right. Normally we do a decent job of it.

Furthermore it isn't just one poll, every major poll that I've seen in the last few years which addresses any variant of this question has come up with the same basic answer. The more religious you are, the more likely it is that you support Bush. Unless all polling organizations have serious methodology problems (which I strongly doubt), the country is politically polarized along religious grounds.

:-(Incidentally that kind of polarization is a significant risk factor for totalitarianism.)-:

New Is it "religious" or "church going christian"?
I'd be interested to know how Bush played with orthodox jews and devout muslims for instance.

"The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them."   --Albert Einstein

"This is still a dangerous world. It's a world of madmen and uncertainty and potential mental losses."   --George W. Bush
New IIRC, both of those flipped
In 2000 Bush lead among Muslims and lost among orthodox Jews.

In 2004 Bush lead among orthodox Jews and lost among Muslims.
