As long as Trump doesn’t waiver, he’s got 40%.
Hmmm...
“However, for the first three years of his Presidency and into the early weeks of the COVID crisis, white evangelical Christians remained solidly behind the President — until now. As Pew Research writes, “White evangelical Protestants are President Donald Trump’s most supportive religious constituency, but they are slightly less positive about his response to the coronavirus pandemic now than they were in March, according to a new Pew Research Center Survey. The decline comes as recommendations for social distancing in the United States stretch into a third month and Americans overall express waning confidence in how the president and public health officials are handling the crisis.”
The number of white evangelicals that give Trump positive marks has dropped six points since Pew polled the same question in March. The drop mirrors declining Republican confidence in Trump — 77% of Republicans polled said Trump was doing a good job, down from 83% in March.
Trump’s push to open churches is in response to this drop in his most loyal constituency.
There is almost no path to re-election for the President without the same level of support among white evangelicals that he received in 2016.”
