Survey Released On Church Involvement In Distributing Candidate Information

A survey released last week by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life reports that among voters who attend religious services at once per month, 15% say that information on political parties or candidates has been made available at their places of worship. Within that group, 36% of Black Protestants report that information has been made available at their churches. However only 5% of all respondents, 6% of Black Protestants, and 7% of Catholics say that clergy have urged them to vote in a specific way.
