rooster et al, Nobody Likes Trump Except White Evangelicals

"Church of The Donald
"Donald Trump’s Presidential Run Began in an Effort to Gain Stature"
Never mind Fox. Trump’s most reliable media mouthpiece is now Christian TV.

Trump-disparagers are common everywhere, other than in the pews of white conservative Evangelical churches.

The Public Religion Research Institute, which regularly does valuable polling and analysis on issues where politics and religion intersect, has a new poll .. https://www.prri.org/research/young-people-set-to-impact-the-debate-on-womens-health-issues/ .. out this week. They’ve also supplied some analysis .. https://www.prri.org/spotlight/white-evangelical-support-for-donald-trump-at-all-time-high/ .. breaking out white Evangelical respondents to their poll (about 17 percent of the sample), showing that support for Donald Trump among the paler born-again folk is at “an all-time high”:

-
White evangelical support for Donald Trump has steadily increased over time. Notably, Trump’s favorability among white evangelicals never reached 50 percent during the 2016 primary season. By the early fall of 2016, however, his favorability among white evangelicals had jumped to 61 percent. By the inauguration it increased to 68 percent, and shortly after the inauguration in February 2017 it jumped again to 74 percent. Over the course of 2017, there were minor fluctuations, but Trump’s favorability among white evangelicals never dipped below 65 percent during this time.

Trump’s favorability ratio among white evangelicals now, says PRRI, is 75-22, as compared to 42-54 among the American population generally. And his popularity is just insanely high among men (81 percent) and the non-college-educated (78 percent) within the white Evangelical universe.

[...] .. to end ..

Non-white-Evangelical America is a pretty big part of this great big country, and it’s a place where Donald Trump is really unpopular. Get used to that idea.
