Higher church attendance correlated with higher approval ratings for Donald Trump, new polling analysis found.
New polling analysis from the Pew Research Center highlighted President Donald Trump’s continued support among Christians, particularly white evangelical Protestants. Polling also found that for certain Christian demographic groups, more frequent church attendance correlated with more support for Trump.
January polling conducted by Pew found that 69 percent of white evangelical Protestants “approve of the way Donald Trump is handling his job as president,” down from 78 percent approval in the first months of his administration and the 80 percent of white evangelicals who voted for Trump in 2016. White evangelical support for Trump extends to specific policies, such as the nearly three-quarters of white evangelicals who expressed support for “substantially expanding the wall along the U.S. border with Mexico,” according to Pew's January poll.
White evangelical Christianity also overlaps with other demographics correlated with support for Trump, including low educational attainment—43 percent of evangelical Protestants have a high school education or less—and geography, with half of evangelicals residing in the South.
