Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A new poll of voters based on their religious views makes it clear the pro-life community has significantly more educational work to do to show voters where the candidates stand on abortion. The poll finds John McCain leading among evangelicals -- but his support dropping -- while Catholics are mostly undecided.

According to its survey, non-evangelical born again Christians back Barack Obama 43% to 31%, notional Christians support Obama 44% to 28%, people of some other faith back Obama 56% to 24%, and atheists and agnostics support Obama 55% to 17%.
