Are "Suburban Women" Unmarried, Non-Churched, Part-Time Workers?

The Press (yah, I know) has been touting the line that "suburban women" do not like Trump and didn't vote for him.

Well, then, the exit-poll results tell us something, no?

 ...The exit poll asked the question: "Do you work full-time for pay?"

Voters who said no went for Biden over Trump by 57% to 42%. By contrast, voters who said they did work full time picked Trump over Biden 51% to 47%....

OK; not a really big deal.

Moving on:

...The exit poll asked voters: "Are you currently married?"

People who said they are not "currently" married voted overwhelmingly for Biden. He won 58% of their vote, while Trump won only 40%. Meanwhile, Trump won 53% of married voters, while Biden won only 46%.

It did not matter whether the married person was a male or female. A majority of both husbands and wives voted for Trump over Biden....

That's interesting.  But even MORE interesting:

... It asked "how often ... if at all" a person attends church or religious services. The result: The more often a voter attends church or religious services, the more likely they were to vote for Trump.

In fact, Biden only won majorities among voters who said they rarely or never attend church or religious services....

If you're surprised, you are truly a naif.

As a pastor in a VERY liberal state I can say that 85 to 90% of my regular Mass attending Catholics voted Trump. The liberal Catholics are largely among the non practicing.

Unfortunately for those Catholics, they sold out their values as a result.
