And the gap is "larger than the difference among frequent attenders has ever been...That points even more to a Democratic advantage, because 54 percent of all voters are less-frequent attenders.
"...Democrats, in short, may be able to reap the benefits of resisting the faith-based politics of the other side. Republicans, caught between their solid "values" base and a more secular-minded electorate, may have their work cut out for them."
