It turns out that religion and politics do mix especially for Republicans

DECEMBER 23, 2016 11:28 AM
BY DAVID LIGHTMAN

Religion and politics often do go together, a new Gallup Poll finds.

The survey, released Friday, showed “religion remains intertwined with political self-identification,” according to a Gallup editor in chief, Frank Newport, in his poll analysis.

The poll found “religiosity continued in 2016 to significantly correlate with partisan identification.”

Fifty-one percent of Republicans said this year that they were highly religious. The finding was based on a combination of their self-reported attendance at religious services and importance of religion in their lives. Another 29 percent of Republicans said they were moderately religious.

That claiming to be something and actually living up to the standards, are usually two different things!
