WARREN SURGES IN POLL BUT ITS REAL NEWS IS ABOUT PRAYING AMERICANS: Yes, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) suddenly bolts to a virtual dead heat with former Vice-President Joe Biden in the latest YouGov. survey for The Economist.

That’s interesting to be sure, but the last five of the 145 questions asked of 1,500 respondents concerned things like church attendance and frequency of prayer, topics not typically raised in such surveys. The margin of error is three percent.

Turns out that more than half of us pray regularly and a third of all Americans go to church at least once or twice a month. Checking the demographics of the respondents reveals an over-sampling of Democrats to Republicans, so the prayer and attendance percentages might be slightly understated.
