More than 35,000 people were asked by YouGov for the Church Times about their voting intentions in May's general election, with Anglicans revealing they were twice as likely to side with the Tories, with 48% backing the party.
The poll found that Anglicans are the most right-wing denomination in Britain, proving more likely to lean towards UKIP than any other section of the electorate when analysed by religious grouping. The national average voting for UKIP was 14%, whereas for Anglicans it rose to 16%.
On the other hand Roman Catholics were shown to be more than a third more likely to vote Labour, with 42% of voters supporting the party, compared with 27% of Anglicans who intend to support the party.
The poll also discovered there was also a major divide between church leadership, who tended to lean towards softer issues like welfare, and those in the congregation.
The research suggested no other denomination was so right-wing, but when all Christian denominations were added up the Tories come out on top with 38% of the vote, compared to 33% for Labour.
Smaller parties, including the Greens, the SNP and Plaid Cymru get just 3% of the Anglican vote, compared to the national figure of 11%.
Speaking in The Church Times, the Rt Revd Pete Broadbent, Bishop of Willesden said he was not surprised by the results. The former Labour councillor in the 1980s said: "There has always been a majority of people who are Church of England Conservative.
"I think it's about Establishment, and the fact that the Church is by its nature conservative with a small 'c', and that tends to make people Conservative with a big 'C'."
The Church Times reported that these contradicted some Tory politicians who accused the church of being too left-wing.
Only two per cent of Anglicans surveyed in the poll said they would not vote at all in May's General Election.
Christians on the Left responded saying the survey looked only at the affiliation to churches rather than member activity and could give a biased picture.
Stephen Beer, from the group, said it was important that Christians were engaging in politics. It said: "The first message is to take the next step in politics - if you don't vote, then vote.
"If you do vote, think about being a candidate, whatever party you're from."
