The New American website reports today (September 9, 2011) that nearly 80 percent of likely American voters believe in the healing power of prayer, according to a recent poll conducted by Fox News.
The findings could be significant as a stable of mostly Christian Republican presidential candidates compete for the right to challenge Barak Obama in the 2012 presidential election.
A full 77 percent of Americans believe that "prayers can help someone heal from an injury or illness, while 20 percent don't believe that," reported Fox of its phone survey, conducted in late August. "The remaining 3 percent are unsure."
The survey also found that "women (82 percent) were more likely than men (71 percent) to believe in the healing power of prayer."
