Back to Results Church and State: Religious Right or Religious Wrong? As with much of the rest of American politics these days, Americans are divided about the i nfluence of organized religion on politics, particularly the role the re ligious right has played in the Presidents elections and governance. Divisions over "the religious right," appear to fall along party lines. N early 9 in 10 Democrats see it as a "negative" influence on American cul ture, while just as many Republicans see it as a "positive" influence.
Views on whether the religious right is treated fairly by the media also vary by party. A strong majority of Republicans believe that the religio us right is not treated fairly by the media, and a bare majority of Inde pendents agree with Republicans. Democrats are divided - half believe th e media treat the religious right fairly, but roughly a third of Democra ts believe the media are unfair.
Does President Bush owe his re-election to the religious right? Republica ns are nearly evenly divided on this point, while most Democrats and Ind ependents believe the President owes his re-election to this group.
Regardless of whether Bush owes his re-election to the religious right, m ost Democrats and half of the Independents believe the President allows religious groups to have too much influence over his White House. Not su rprisingly, less than a quarter of self-described Republicans feel this way.
Recently, there has been internal turmoil in the Democratic Party for not being culturally conservative enough and in the process driving away cu lturally conservative swing voters. But, PollingPoint Democrats say they would be less likely to support their party if it adopted a platform mo re like the religious right's. Conversely, nearly half the PollingPoint Republicans told us they would b e more likely to support the Democratic Party if it changed its platform in this way. Interestingly, most of PollingPoints Independents would be less likely to support the Democrats if they became more culturally con servative.
