66% is most.

A lot of those areas are under 60%. If you exclude the two top categories (evangelical Protestant and Mormon), it's much closer to 50/50.

The real problem IMO is the evangelicals Protestants. Those are much more based around influential individuals (megachurches/TV preachers) rather than community or religious tenants.

The infographic makes no claim about the size of each group, just the left/right split within each group. You cannot draw such a conclusion from that data alone. This is a common misunderstanding in statistics when dealing with conditional probability.

Here is an infographic showing the inverse, religious affiliation given party affiliation.

This indicates both parties are majority Christian, the Republican party overwhelmingly so.

Thanks, that is a much better infographic.

Any idea why Jewish people are more predominantly Democrat than Republican?

Better for showing the proportion of each party identifying with certain religious groups, but not for showing the proportion of each religious group identifying with each party :P

Any idea why Jewish people are more predominantly Democrat than Republican?

Not really, but if I had to speculate, maybe it's an urban/suburban/rural divide? Or simply the fact that Republicans spend more effort targeting evangelical christians while Democrats don't focus as much on religion. Or the tendency for antisemitism and other forms of bigotry to go hand-in-hand with conservatism. If you find any research about it, I'd be interested to see.
