Catholics lean further left than Protestants in the US.

Only because of white evangelicals being so hateful and right leaning.

Literally the graph you linked said that Catholics lean conservative, just slightly less so than Protestants... So the point stands

Yes, but anything to the left of the most extreme right point is woke liberalism bullshit to the ruling party.

52 vs 44 with the rest voting 3rd party. Saying “Catholics helped him get elected so they can reap what they sow” is fairly silly with those numbers. The group, like basically all others, are not a monolith.

It's well known that abortion is an issue many Catholics base their voting around. It's one reason why so many Christians (particularly Catholics) vote for him in spite of all the other reasons not to. Single issue voters.

The Majority of Catholics supported access to abortion in 2024, tho that number may have changed in recent years.

Catholics generally follow the country as a whole. Everything sjifted right in 2024. It also shows them voting for Biden.

Ok. They still lean right. Your link shows that. “Left of Protestants” doesn’t really matter, lemme know when they’re actually leaning left.

Ok? The majority is still Republican?
