According to Zogby International's recent poll of likely voters, 46 percent of white born-again/evangelical voters, 32 percent of white Protestants, and 28 percent of white Catholics say choosing Mike Huckabee as a running mate would make them more inclined to vote for John McCain. Mitt Romney and Joe Lieberman also fared well with likely voters. Twenty-five percent of white Protestants and 23 percent of white Catholics say naming Lieberman would make them more likely to vote for McCain, and 34 percent of white born-again/evangelicals, 37 percent of white Protestants, and 32 percent of white Catholics say naming Romney would make them more likely to cast a vote for McCain. If Barack Obama were to choose Colin Powell as his running mate, 39 percent of white born-again/evangelicals, 49 percent of non-white born-again/evangelicals, 47 percent of white Protestants, 43 percent of non-white Protestants, and 48 percent of white Catholics say it would make them more likely to support the Democratic candidate. While 27 percent of white Catholics, 44 percent of non-white Catholics, 47 percent of non-white Protestants, and 22 percent of white born-again/evangelical voters say the selection of Hillary Clinton, Obama's former challenger for the Democratic nomination, would make them more likely to support Obama, 26 percent of white Catholics and 23 percent of white born-again/evangelicals say they would be less likely to support Obama if she were named, giving her just a 1 percent net positive with white Catholics, for example.
