4. I really dislike when they use the "evangelical" title, especially when
they are trying to tie it to the "fundies". They really are not the same groups, and you can see that in some of the poll results. You can see the die hard Falwell/Dobson "fundie" types are a minority in this group. Then again, I don't know a lot of fundies that hangout at Beliefnet either.

Abortion and gay marriage/homosexuality were second and third among evangelicals' electoral concerns, cited by 16 percent and 10.7 percent respectively.

Among Christian leaders, evangelist Billy Graham -- a household name in America who has long distanced himself from overt political activity -- was viewed favorably by 86 percent of the evangelicals polled by Beliefnet.

The Rev. Jerry Falwell, a prominent conservative Christian, was viewed in a favorable light by only 17 percent.
