White Evangelicals Stand Firmly With GOP Candidates As Other Faith Groups Lean Left

Faith Facts

• White Evangelical Protestants remain the only religious group where a majority continues to approve of President Donald Trump.
• Support for President Trump among White Evangelicals has dropped 20 percentage points since earlier in his presidency.
• Most other religious groups in the United States now favor Democratic candidates in the upcoming midterm elections.

A new Pew Research Center survey reveals a clear divide among American faith communities ahead of the midterm elections. White Evangelical Protestants stand out as the sole religious group maintaining majority support for President Donald Trump.

The survey shows that while this core constituency continues to back Republican candidates, their enthusiasm has cooled compared to previous years. President Trump’s approval among White Evangelicals has declined by 20 points from its earlier peak.

Other religious demographics show a different pattern. Most non-evangelical groups lean toward Democratic candidates, creating a widening gap between traditional faith communities and the broader electorate.

“White Evangelical Protestants are the only religious group in which most approve of President Donald Trump,” the Pew survey finds.

The findings highlight how faith and politics continue to intersect in American elections. White Evangelicals remain a reliable voting bloc for conservative candidates despite the measurable decline in support.
