Even Catholics who consider themselves “conservative” politically are more likely to approve than disapprove of Obama’s job performance. This distinguishes Catholics from Protestants, as conservative Protestants are more likely to disapprove…

In fact, 53% of Catholics voted for Obama for president in November, almost identical to the 52.9% of the popular vote Obama won in the 2008 election. Catholics’ 67% approval of Obama in his first 100 days is slightly higher than his overall 63% average approval rating for the same period. Thus, relative to the population, Catholics have become a bit more supportive of Obama as president than they were in the election.
