The Christian video site GodTube today released a poll suggesting Barack Obama appeals to more conservative Christians than John McCain. Hillary Clinton comes out ahead of McCain, too. A spokesperson for GodTube told God-o-Meter that the poll was open to all GodTube users, not just conservatives, but the site has a conservative bent. Mike Huckabee, of course, finished first. The essentials from GodTube's press release.
GodTube.com has announced that despite the recent sweeping victory for John McCain, a stunning new GodTube.com poll reveals that if McCain wins his party’s nomination, Christian Conservative participants would rather vote for one of the two Democratic candidates.With a slim 9.1% support for McCain, Obama has become a viable choice for many Christian Conservatives with 26.3% of the Christian vote, up 8% from last week.
Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton showed no increase in the GodTube.com poll this week maintaining her 19.6% of the Christian vote while Republican candidate Mike Huckabee increased his lead 30% last week, leading the GodTube.com poll by 45% of the overall Christian vote.

To answer to Claude, and the statement that democrats are more Christian values there...
Dems are for abortion - the killing of innocent lives. Psalm 139:13-16 shows that the Lord knows us even when we are in our mothers womb.
Dems are for Homosexuality - Romans 1:26-27 & 1 Corinthians 6:9 show that any homosexuality is a sin and condemned by the Lord.
Obama is against Israel - The Lords chosen People.
Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Obama's reverend/mentor, says that Blacks are God's chosen people and states with passion "God Damn America!"
Furthermore, Democrats are very near-sighted in all things. They look to give the man a fish rather than teach him how to fish. They do what looks good in order to attain office. They bend as the social winds blow. This is clearly not how Christ moved. He was only for one agenda. The Lords.
Christ is not a democrat or a republican. Christ is not affiliated with any political party. Christ did associate with Tax collectors, prostitutes and sinners, but that was to save their soul. To put Obama in the shoes of Christ is blasphemy. Don't kid yourself. Obama is not associated with these despicable people because he wants to witness to them and win them over to Christ. It is strictly political and personal minded.
Please watch this video - "Burning down the house". You will open your eyes to a whole new light of what the Democrats are hiding.

When Jesus fed the 5,000 he did not pick and chose who was worthy or not. I am a single mother, a Christian, I teach sunday school at our church,i am a member of the pta, my daughter is in awanas, brownies. i go to school full time for my RN and work full time to support two young children. I also collect welfare: child care assistance, food stamps and CHP+ for my kids. These are all programs that republicans voted against. Republicans also voted against strengthening child support enforecement laws. My ex husband makes over 60k a year: to this day we have not seen a dime.
I am hard working, frugal and could not get through the day were it not for the love of my Savior.
My husband, a non-believer left me and my two young children with no child support. The wages that most companies pay (i am a customer service rep for a wireless company) do not cover basic rent, food and childcare. I make $10.50 an hour. I do not have health insurance. I have severe asthma but cannot afford the medication i need. When I had a severe attack this last may i refused to go into the ER because i cannot afford the bill.
This is my reality. Welfare programs take up less than 1% of the federal budget, yet we are the scapegoats.
perhaps with obama there can be more college money available, more access to health care, a stronger economy. I can tell you that McCain and palin would do little to help our family.
I do disagree with obama on abortion and gay mariage; yet the republicans haven't exactly done much for abortion either. Plus, perhaps with expanded healthcare and access to more family planning we can reduce the number of unplanned pregnancies and subsequent births.
Please Please Please think and pray before you vote. God's laws do not change regardless of economy, war, trials and tribulations. Please vote on Biblical Principles not the Worlds. To Joanna T.-hang in there and stay strong. Nursing school tests your faith in so many ways but know and claim it-God will never leave you or forsake you. He has not brought you this far for nothing- you will be used and in a very mighty way.
thank you Belle.. for your kind words of encouragement. Jesus was right when he said with faith in Him, we can move mountains.
I hope that regardless of who we vote for, we can all do so prayerfully and remember that we all are brothers and sisters in Jesus.
hi there
i am not a citizen of the united states. i live in canada and i am a christian.
i have become very cynical of the way your country's administration has been conducting themselves in the past 8 years under false pretenses and in supposedly God's name. I don't want to question whether your current president is a Christian or not. that is between him and God, but I am frustrated that he used his "Christian propaganda" to be voted into office, and has blatantly lied to you as American citizens to go into a war that is seen as illegal in the international community.
To me that is one of the worst ways to conduct yourself as Christian and it has hurt the Cause for Christ.
As more soldiers and civilians (approx. 250 000) are dying each day, because of the decisions your administration has made, I cannot understand the reason to support McCain/Palin, to further the atrocities of war.
Many republicans have called Obama's ticket "too socialist". What is wrong with that? I live in socialist driven country, where everyone is entitled to health care and is taken care of. In my opinion, Jesus would rather see everyone being taken care of,than the rich becoming richer and the poorer becoming poorer. Your country has 50 million people without health care. That is more than the population of Canada.
As for the gay rights and abortion issues.... those are tough. But your country decided long time ago, that there should be separation of religion and state. If you would make abortion illegal, women would find other means of getting it done: either travel to other countries(in Ireland they travel to England)or hurting themselves by underground clinics. I wish everyone could see a fetus conceived as a human being and find other means like adoption, but in the end we cannot dictate one's personal believes, it has to be between them and God.
