2016 // In August, Trump trailed Clinton by 3 points among white Catholics — one of the few demographics that had been moving rightward over the last decade. But a new Washington Post-ABC poll shows a surge of white Catholic support for Donald Trump. Trump now leads Clinton 57-33% among white Catholics, a 24-point margin. (Both polls show Trump trailing Clinton with Hispanic Catholics by about the same margin as Romney fared in 2012.) http://cvote.it/2cUNyPy
