South Carolina Voters on Religion







A recent poll on religion in South Carolina showed that religion makes a differences for the voters and voters are very important to the 2008 Presidential Candidates. All of the Presidential Candidates tend to rely on their faith to reach other to voters and having a religious views on things could make a big differences to their campaign. The poll showed that ninety percent of voters in South Carolina said that religion is very important to them. Presidential candidates such as Sentor John McCain and Mike Huckabee have showed that their religion is Baptist and Rudy Giuliani have identified himseld as a Roman Catholic. All these Presidential Candidates seem to share their faith and religious views with Americans hoping to grasp their concept that we have the same religion, therefore, we understand where you are coming from.

President George W. Bush have used his religious views throughout his campaign election to seek voters and tell them about his religious faith and how it will help him as a president. It will guide him to a right path as a good president. That helped him to get his election and re-election as president. Even Hilary Clinton said that talking about religion will help the Democrats to get a better view with its voters and its members. She said that we should use religion such as the bible to win debates just like the Republicans do when discussing about controversial issues. As for the citizens of South Carolina, speaking about faith could be a good move for the Presidential candidates epecially, if they want to get African American voters on their side. Studies have shown that half of the voters in the Democratic voting period might be African Americans since they accumulate a large portion of the population in South Carolina.
