Much has been made of Donald Trump’s problems with a few voting groups – female voters, blacks and Hispanics, and young voters, in particular. But relatively speaking, his biggest problem actually appears to be with a different group: Catholics. Yes, the man who once feuded with the pope (how soon we forget that actually happened) is cratering among Catholics. If you compare the difference between Romney’s margin among Catholics in 2012 and Trump’s margin among Catholics this year, the 25-point difference is tied for the biggest shift of any demographic group in the Post-ABC poll. Perhaps Pope Francis’.s criticism of Trump and Trump’s surprisingly confrontational response have turned off Catholics to Trump’s candidacy.
