Changes between 2008 and 2009

In the following text I will deal with the topic Changes betwee 2008 and 2009. After noticing that there are nearly no information on religious voters in Germny I will only concentrate on the U.S.. That means that I will take a look at some religious groups and minorities and how their votes have changed.
During my readings it became obvious that the biggest changest were in the Democratic vote among the religious minorities. Namely, these minorities are the Hispanic Catholics, Hispanic Protestants and other minority Catholics and Prostestants. Furthermore, Obama made also gains among the Jews.
In contrast to that there was no essential change in the vote of regular worship-attending white evangelical Protestants, which is one of the strongest voting groups. To sum it up, most of the religious groups stayed with their votes or moved only further in their direction by a few percentage points. So the shaoe between the voters got clearer but there were not very big changes.
These small changes could be explained with partisanship. It does not change very fast. So it is not very suprising that it changes during the election not very much. But I learned during my research that some people see this little changes as an important beginning of important changes in the future.
