The Catholic vote on Tuesday broke for former President Donald Trump by a large margin nationwide and within swing states in the 2024 presidential election, according to exit polls published by the Washington Post, the Associated Press, and NBC News. Trump won the national Catholic vote by a 15-point margin: 56 percent to 41 percent. This shows a much larger victory for Trump among Catholic voters than the Post’s 2020 exit polls, which showed Trump with only a five-point lead above President Joe Biden, 52 percent to 47 percent. The shift represents a 10-point swing in favor of Trump from 2020 to 2024.
