| Summary: | Examination of patterns of party identification and Presidential preference among Catholics and Protestants in three separate election surveys ( 1956, 1960, 1964) reveals persistent differences between the two categories of religious preference. They remain as the only potent predictor of partisan choice among the three variables (community, occupation, religion) in Lazarsfeld's Index of Political Predisposition. Change patterns in partisan choice differ in this period between Protestants and Catholics: Protestants changed most from 1960–1964 whereas Catholics changed markedly from 1956–1960. The partisan differences are interpreted to reveal two intervening variables: consensual identification among Catholics and political salience of elections vis à vis Catholics. |
