Impact of Religious Voters

A few of the nation's top journalist gathered together one day after the election to take a look on how big an impact religious voters made in the 2008 election.  It is said to be that Obama had made his largest gains among minority religious groups and only made modest gains among white christian groups.  Despite these facts, they did not change the overall structure of the faith-based votes.  Obama's strength was the amount of faith he had and how it was the main focus of the campaign.  Another interesting fact about this topic is how younger evangelicals were more likely to support Obama rather than older evangelicals.  I believe that the religious voters have a great impact on every election due to being able to relate and agree with someone who shares similar beliefs and plans.
