NFBW: I did not bring religion to the culture war issue of abortion. Catholics who vote Republican like Clarence and Ginny Thomas brought religion to SCOTUS and me.
Size, demographics and voting habits of white evangelicals 20APR06-BROOKINGS-WhiteDJTevangelicals-a
About
one in four American adults belongs to an evangelical Christian denomination according to
a Pew Research Center 2014 study, making evangelicals the most common religious group just ahead of those without a religious affiliation. This percentage is down very slightly from
a prior study in 2007. The
National Election Pool exit polls found 26% of voters self-identified as white evangelical Christians in 2016. Beyond their total numbers, 64% of Evangelicals reported church attendance at least weekly compared to 35% of other Christians, suggesting a potential for a higher frequency of politically relevant messaging.
Evangelicals are demographically distinct on several politically relevant dimensions. The following numbers are based on the authorās analysis of a
2018 AP/NORC national survey.[2] Among registered voters in the Census Region South, 21% identify as white evangelicals compared to 13%, 14% and 8% in the West, Midwest and Northeast, respectively. White evangelicals were less likely in the sample to report income over $150,000 and bachelor degree or higher education levels. They also tended to be older. Among registered voters under 40 in the survey, 8% were white evangelicals compared to 19% among those over 40, pointing to a long-term problem for Republicans without a more diverse electoral coalition.
Embedded throughout this discussion is an assumption that the majority of evangelicals will vote for Republicans, and this assumption is well supported in survey data. The 2016 National Election Pool Exit Survey had Donald Trump leading Hillary Clinton among white evangelicals by a staggering 79% to 16%. In that exit survey, white evangelicals composed 46% of Trumpās coalition compared to 9% of Clintonās coalition. The aforementioned 2018 AP/NORC survey found white Evangelical voters were roughly twice as likely to approve of Donald Trumpās job as president as other voters. While only a small percentage of white evangelical protestants consistently vote for Democrats or identify as liberal, they tend to cluster in certain churches and, consequently, could have substantial localized electoral impact.
Different surveys yield somewhat different numbers, but the overall direction is consistent: white evangelical protestants are a major component of President Trumpās coalition. The group tends to be older, of slightly lower socioeconomic status, and concentrated in the South.
NFBW: Like I said
BackAgain You are a Chihuahua (religious ānoneā ) runninā with the BIG DOG bull terriers in white Christian Republican pack.
