Kamala Harris Making Inroads with the White Catholic Vote in Pennsylvania. She's Doing Better in a Recent Poll Than Biden Did in 2020.

If Harris is able to remain competitive with white Catholics around the country, it would represent a significant achievement. A Brookings analysis earlier this year by University of Pennsylvania professor John DiLulio noted that Hillary Clinton lost the overall white Catholic vote by 33 points in 2016, but four years later, Biden cut that deficit in half, losing by only 15 points. “As much as any single shift in voting patterns between those two elections, the shift in the white Catholic vote away from Trump cost him the 2020 election,” wrote DiLulio.

According to a recent EWTN/RealClear poll, that gap has narrowed, with Trump leading Harris among white Catholics, 52 percent to 42 percent.
