A recent report from Pew Research has shown that Catholics in the United States have shifted their support towards former President Donald Trump and away from President Joe Biden.
In a head-to-head matchup between the two candidates, 55% of Catholics now support or lean towards supporting former President Donald Trump, while only 45% support Biden. This represents a significant shift in support for Trump since 2020, when he held a very narrow lead of 50% to 49%.
Biden currently has a narrow lead among Hispanic Catholics, with 49% supporting him and 47% supporting Trump. However, this still represents a major shift rightward for this demographic, as a similar poll in 2020 found that 67% of Hispanic Catholics preferred Biden to Trump.
Protestants, on the other hand, expressed overwhelming support for Trump, with approximately 60% backing him, and only about 38% leaning towards Biden, Fox News reported.
