Quote:According to Wikipedia, it's 26.3% of the religious population of the US is evangelical. You can be evangelical even if you belong to a Church that does not state they are Evangelicals. Evangelicalism is more about how you believe and it can cross over to other denominations.I saw that study too. I think we need to analyze the study further. 26.3% was further broken down by traditionalist, centrist or modern. If we assume that the 12.6% traditionalists, with then only the conservative ones, 8.9%, (only 70% of them were Republicans) who we are thinking are being targeted by Mit Romney. If it was a ploy by Mit for votes, then I beleive he was targeting the traditionalists who are predominantly Republican also in non-evangelical, and Catholic faiths as well.
