Poll: Fewer See Dems As Religion-Friendly

From the Associated Press via Yahoo:

WASHINGTON - Democrats' efforts to improve their image with religious voters after the 2004 presidential election appear to be getting off to a bumpy start.

Fewer people see Democrats as friendly to religion now than felt that way a year ago, according to a poll released Tuesday by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.

That number has dropped from 40 percent in August 2004 who thought the Democrats were friendly to religion to 29 percent now.

"The change is seen across all groups," said Scott Keeter, director of survey research for the Pew Research Center, which conducted the poll for the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.

My Comments:
Other than attempts at "marketing" themselves as religion-friendly, what has changed with respect to the Democrats' attitude toward religion? Just look at how they continue to try to make an issue of the religious beliefs of judicial nominees.

People can see through the B.S. the Dems are trying to peddle under the guise of "religious talk", especially in light of the continued overt hostility toward people of faith in the public arena.
