Catholics Turn on the Democrats

 Recent changes within the Catholic community in America show a significant disapproval of the Democratic Party, leading to a notable political shift.

• A survey conducted by TIPP Insights revealed that only 31% of Catholics approve of the Democratic Party, while 56% disapprove, marking a 25% disapproval margin.

• In contrast, the Republican Party has a slight negative approval margin of -2% among Catholics, with 44% approval and 46% disapproval.

• Historically, Catholics have been a strong base for the Democrats, with key figures like Al Smith and John F. Kennedy representing the party.

• Modern Democrats are viewed as radically different, focusing on open borders, globalist policies, and cultural issues that many Catholics find unappealing.

• This shift has led to Catholics playing a crucial role in Donald Trump's electoral success, particularly in swing states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

• Trump’s appeal among Catholics increased significantly, resulting in an 11% margin nationwide compared to 2020.

• Many Catholic voters disagree with the church's leadership on political issues, especially immigration, leaning towards Trump and his stance on border security.

• Poll results indicate strong support for mass deportations, with Catholics favoring this approach by a 21% margin.

• Historically, the Catholic vote has been a decisive factor in national elections, aligning with winning candidates, except for a few instances, such as the 2000 election.

• The current rejection of Democratic values by Catholics marks a dramatic political realignment, moving towards what many see as the patriotic populism of the America First movement.

The shift in Catholic support away from the Democratic Party signifies a deeper realignment in American politics, reflecting broader discontent with the party's current direction and emphasizing the importance of Catholic voters in future elections.
