Harris Leads Trump With Catholics Despite Supporting Abortions Up to Birth

The 2024 election season has brought unexpected polling trends, particularly within religious voting blocs. One of the most striking developments is Kamala Harris’s support among Catholic voters, despite her outspoken support for abortion, including late-term abortions.

Harris has long been an advocate for abortions up to birth. This stance, traditionally at odds with the pro-life teachings of the Catholic Church, seems not to have alienated some Catholic voters.

The poll, conducted from Aug. 28-30, surveyed 1,000 Catholics and has a margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points.

Catholic voters, like most of the electorate, consider the economy by far the most pressing issue facing the country and oppose transgender surgeries for minors and transgender males competing in women’s sports. They are divided on the question of who should set policy on abortion, U.S. support for Ukraine, and Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza. The findings also reveal a significant gender gap among Catholic voters, while Trump is currently receiving support from 30% of Catholic Latinos.

According to the findings, 50% of Catholic voters currently support Harris for president while 43% support Trump and 6% are undecided.
