In 2004, Evangelicals backed Bush 78-21 over Kerry.

This year, if the exit polls are to be believed, they went one-third for Democrats and two-thirds for Republicans. That’s roughly a 10-point swing toward the Democrats.

Really, this seems to be a reversion to the mean. The breakdown roughly matches 2000 and 2002. But it’s an interesting swing nonetheless. Again, if the polls are to be believed, corruption and scandal in the GOP seem to be what pushed them away.
