PA too

Mark Silk

Obama’s all but erased the God Gap in Pennsylvania too. But remember, this is only with respect to regular worship attenders. For the less than regular–call it the Godless Gap–the Democratic (i.e. Obama) margin is huge: nearly 30 points. So if by religion gap (a term I prefer, despite the lack of poetry) we mean the tendency of the American electorate to bifurcate between the two parties based on worship attendance, that’s very much intact in the Keystone State, and everywhere else you look.
Update: Wisconsin too.

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
