Tags: 2008, ohio, primaryForty-three percent of white evangelical Christian voters in Ohio backed Democrats in last week’s presidential primary, according to a poll released Monday by religious and progressive groups.
The groups that released the poll say it demonstrates ideological diversity among a voting bloc that is widely presumed to be Republican.
Ohio evangelical voters from both parties told the pollsters that jobs and the economy were their top concerns - eclipsing abortion and gay marriage even among the Republicans - although social issues were still more important to Republicans than Democrats.
