Gallup: “Among major religious groups in the United States, Muslims give President Obama the highest average approval ratings and Mormons, the lowest. Jews and those with no religious identity rate Obama higher than the national average, while Protestants’ ratings are below average, and Catholics’ near the average.”
From Gallup:
In addition to Muslims, Obama receives above-average ratings among Jews, those who identify with other non-Christian religious groups, and those with no formal religious identity. Obama gets lower-than-average ratings among Protestants. Catholics have given Obama slightly higher-than-average ratings last year and so far this year.
Obama has lost slightly more ground than average so far among Mormons, and has lost the least among Muslims.
