As Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump vie for several key demographics, the Catholic vote appears to be leaning toward the former president.
A survey from the National Catholic Reporter found that in most of the battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, Trump leads Harris among Catholic voters, 50% to 45%. In 2020, Trump narrowly edged out President Joe Biden, who is Catholic, for the Catholic vote nationwide, 50% to 49%, according to the Pew Research Center.
Among the states surveyed, Trump leads in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, and Wisconsin for Catholic voters, while Harris leads in Nevada and Pennsylvania. The widest lead is Trump’s advantage in Wisconsin, 57%-39%, while the narrowest margins are Trump’s 47%-46% North Carolina lead and Harris’s 49%-48% Pennsylvania lead.
