538: Trump is driving Catholic voters toward Clinton.

And Tim Kaine, practicing pro-choice Catholic, will help open the door even wider.

Donald Trump has held onto the support of evangelical Christians even as he has screwed up the name of a book of the Bible, said he doesn’t feel he needs forgiveness for anything, and struggled to answer the question that Jesus posed to Peter: “Who do you say that I am?” But, according to a recent report by Pew, Trump’s doing terribly with Catholic voters, particularly those who are regular churchgoers.

Catholics who attend Mass weekly have increased their support for the Democratic nominee by 22 percentage points relative to 2012. They support Hillary Clinton at about the same rate as fallen-away Catholics; even though among white, non-Hispanic Catholics, those who attend Mass less frequently are slightly more likely to be registered Democrats.

7. To put a finer point on it, Tim Kaine's abortion position is exactly the same as . . . . .

. . . . . mother when she was still with us.

She was a VERY devout Catholic and personally found abortion wrong. BUT. She was always pro choice, choosing for herself the path of personal morality and non-judgmentalism.

On this point, it seems to me, Kaine opens the door for Catholics VERY wide.
