Corwin Smidt: "You Win at the Margins"

On June 9, the Henry Institute at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan released a new survey about religion and public life. Institute director Corwin Smidt describes some of the survey's findings about how mainline Protestants, evangelicals, and Roman Catholics may vote in November. He also discusses political shifts within these religious traditions and suggests the shifts could be significant for the outcome of the election. Despite the controversies religion generated during the primary season, Smidt asserts that "you can't eliminate religion from politics."
