Evangelicals abandon McCain, Obama backers target Christian airwaves

According to the Christian pollsters at the Barna Group, Sen. John McCain has failed to hold on to a critical part of the Republican base: born-again evangelical Christians. Even with Gov. Sarah Palin on the ticket, support from the key constituency has floundered compared to Bush’s numbers in 2004.

Meanwhile, independent groups are hitting the airwaves on Christian talk radio with ads featuring Sen. Barack Obama talking about his faith and prominent “pro-lifers” explaining — and supporting — Obama’s position on abortion.

The Barna poll found that McCain garnered the support of 63 percent of evangelical voters compared to 85 percent that Bush received in 2004. Sen. Barack Obama has slowly built his support among the socially conservative group from 9 percent in May to 23 percent in October.
