Survey shows evangelical Christians less tied to either major party then in previous elections

George Barna of the well known Christian research and polling serve "The Barna Group" released a poll detailing connections between people's faith and their current choice for presidential candidate. While Mr. Barna definately casts a pro-Bush spin to his results they are more troubling for both of the major parties.

Barna's poll reveals that a full 10 percent of the American support third-party candidates (5% for Nader with the remaining 5% split among Libertarian, Constitutionalist, etc..) rather then either George W. Bush or John Kerry. This is a much greater percentage then has been reported in major polls but this is likely due to the fact that other third-party candidates are almost always left off of the polls.
