NEW FROM PEW RESEARCH CENTER
If Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden wins this November, he will be only the second Catholic ever to assume the land’s highest office. Having a Catholic candidate head a party ticket, however, does not guarantee widespread support from Catholic voters. U.S. Catholics, who make up roughly one-fifth ([link removed]) of the population, have a diverse range of political opinions, even on topics the Catholic Church has taken a clear stance on.
Here’s a new Fact Tank post ([link removed]) with eight facts about Catholics and politics in the United States, based on previously published Pew Research Center studies.
