It's from PRRI, the allegedly non-partisan group which is headed by a staff of liberals that, IMO, reeks of 'new age' spiritualism. Their founder, Robert P. Jones, pretty much describes their motives, the others I looked up were much the same. Doesn't mean they're wrong, though I did look up their methodology and questionnaire and it didn't exactly wow me, but it sounds to me like they got the results they wanted to see. I've seen other polls that show Obama hurt badly amongst catholics over this but frankly it's too soon to see if it will have much impact.
Except, and I haven't seen anyone mention this yet here or elsewhere, though I'd think it kinda a big deal... Justice Anthony Kennedy, the dude who will almost certainly decide if Obamacare lives or dies... is Roman Catholic. So, strikes me that in spite of some people crowing over this, when the times comes for Kennedy to decide how he feels about the whole mandatory coverage thing this might cross his mind in a less than positive fashion.
