(USA) Religion in the 2010 Elections

(Pew Research Center). Two of the largest religious groups in the electorate followed the same basic voting patterns in the 2010 elections for the U.S. House of Representatives as they have in prior elections: white Protestants voted overwhelmingly Republican and religiously unaffiliated voters cast their ballots overwhelmingly for Democrats. But Catholic voters, who had favored Democratic over Republican candidates by double-digit margins in the last two congressional elections, swung to the GOP in 2010. And within all three of these major religious groups, support for the Republican Party rose this year compared with 2006, matching or exceeding their levels of support for the GOP in any recent election. Republican gains among religious groups parallel the party's broad-based gains among the overall electorate and white voters in particular. (read more)

Elecciones en El Salvador (updates here)

Acá les dejo los enlaces a los principales periódicos de El Salvador, donde estarán actualizando las informaciones de la jornada electoral.

Elecciones donde yo desearía que triunfara el mal menor, o sea que el partido Arena (candidato Rodrigo Avila) logre mantener el poder, frente al izquierdista FMLN (candidato Mauricio Funes).

Ambos partidos llegan a la hora cero con un empate técnico en la intención de votos, de acuerdo a las encuestas.

Mensaje del Papa al presidente Obama

Honorable Barack Obama
Presidente de los Estados Unidos de América
La Casa Blanca
Washington, D. C.

Con motivo de su toma de posesión como el presidente cuadragésimo cuarto de los Estados Unidos de América le ofrezco mis más cordiales buenos deseos, y le aseguro al mismo tiempo mis oraciones para que el Dios Todopoderoso le conceda sabiduría y fuerza indefectibles en el ejercicio de sus altas responsabilidades. Que bajo su mandato puedan los americanos seguir encontrando en su impresionante herencia religiosa y política los valores espirituales y principios éticos para cooperar en la construcción de una sociedad realmente libre y justa, marcada por el respeto a la dignidad, la igualdad y los derechos de cada uno de sus miembros, especialmente los pobres, los marginados y los que no tienen voz. En una época en la que muchos hermanos y hermanas nuestros en todo el mundo claman por su liberación del flagelo de la pobreza, el hambre y la violencia, rezo para que usted confirme su resolución de promover la comprensión, la cooperación y la paz entre las naciones, para que todos puedan participar en el banquete de la vida que Dios ha preparado para toda la familia humana (cf. Isasías 25, 6- 7). Invoco de corazón sobre usted, su familia y sobre todo el pueblo americano las bendiciones de Dios de la alegría y la paz.

Benedictus PP. XVI

The Hispanic Vote in the 2008 Election

Hispanics voted for Democrats Barack Obama and Joe Biden over Republicans John McCain and Sarah Palin by a margin of more than two-to-one in the 2008 presidential election, 66% versus 32%, according to a new report from the Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center. The report finds that 8% of the electorate was Latino, unchanged from 2004.

Nationwide, the Latino vote was significantly more Democratic this year than in 2004, when President Bush captured an estimated 40% of the Hispanic vote, a modern high for a Republican presidential candidate.

Obama carried the Latino vote by sizeable margins in all states with large Latino populations. His biggest breakthrough came in Florida, where he won 57% of the Latino vote. President Bush carried 56% of the Latino vote in Florida in 2004.

Obama's margins were much larger in other states with big Latino populations. He carried 78% in New Jersey, 76% of the Latino vote in Nevada, 74% in California, and 73% in Colorado.

This report contains an analysis of exit poll results for the Latino vote nationally and in the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico and Texas.

The report is available on the Center's website at www.pewhispanic.org.
