“Among religious groups, Trump’s favorability is highest among white evangelical Protestants (72%), followed by 55% of white Mainline/non-evangelical Protestants, and 54% of white Catholics. These groups have become more favorable toward Trump since 2016 (61%, 46% and 43%, respectively).”
White US Christians own the Trump presidency, all of its crudities and cruelties.

"However, white evangelicals (76%), white Catholics (57%) and white Mainline Protestants (57%) more often approved of the job Trump is doing in the White House.
Trump’s favorability ratings also vary according to the religious affiliation of respondents, the PRRI study explains:"

As polls have consistently demonstrated from 2016 through today, white Christians — not just white evangelicals, though they are the chief cheerleaders, but white Christians across the board — own the Trump presidency and its manifold crudities and cruelties, its deep corruption and immorality, it's fundamental clash with everything the Christian gospel proclaims.

"Majorities of white Christian groups, including 72% of white evangelical Protestants, hold a favorable view of Trump; by contrast, Christians of color, members of other religions, and the religiously unaffiliated all hold mostly unfavorable views of Trump. ...
With the exception of Republicans and white Christians, most Americans reject Trump’s secretive ICE tactics and harsh immigration policies."

"Notably, 56% of Americans—including two thirds of political independents—view Trump as a “dangerous dictator.” ...
Trump’s favorability rating remains underwater. Only 40% of Americans hold a favorable view of Trump, compared to 58% who hold an unfavorable view of the president. Notably, more than twice as many Americans hold 'very unfavorable' views than hold 'very favorable' views of Trump (46% vs. 20%)."

PRRI has just released the results of its 16th American Values Survey. PRRI president Robert P. Jones summarizes key findings of this survey:
"Majorities of Republicans and white evangelical Protestants continue to back President Trump and many of his most extreme policies, but most other Americans hold unfavorable views of Trump and believe he has 'gone too far.'"

"And that feels both utterly predictable and sadly depressing.
The admixture of religion and politics right now is ugly."

"Here’s PRRI’s unique contribution to the discussion. Who still, despite it all, has favorable views of Donald Trump?
White Christians, especially white evangelical Protestants, that’s who.
Trump’s religion base is holding firm. White Christians have hardly budged in their support of Donald Trump."

7. So much for “improper ideology”: There is broad support for a critical approach to teaching American history.
The full PRRI report is at the link below. The survey was conducted among a representative sample of 5,025 adults (age 18 and up) living in all 50 states via online interviews between February 28th – March 20th, 2025.

4. Eight in ten Americans oppose the establishment of Trump’s so-called “Anti-Christian Bias Task Force.”
5. Few Americans believe the racist so-called “Great Replacement Theory” or support Trump’s plans to establish militarized internment camps to facilitate mass deportations of undocumented immigrants.
6. Most Americans do not believe there is serious discrimination against Christians or white Americans, but Republicans and white evangelicals do.
-
Robert P. Jones lists 7 key findings of the new PRRI poll results published today:
1. A majority of Americans agree that Trump is “a dangerous dictator whose power should be limited.”
2. Trump is underwater, and sinking, on job approval and personal favorability.
3. Few Americans, and only three in ten Republicans, believe the president should be able to ignore Congress or the Supreme Court.

"Let me say again to the pundit/journalist class: This present crisis is fundamentally a religious one. We would not be here without the collective action of white evangelicals. If you aren’t analyzing this aspect of things, if you aren’t trying to understand why, if you aren’t going deep on American religion, you aren’t covering the story."

"As Kristin Du Mez neatly summarized, new PRRI data shows almost all groups of Trump voters souring on him. Except for one.
Yep, his old faithful friends, white evangelicals, 76% of whom are still lockstep with him. Most of them are even fine with him putting undocumented immigrants in concentration camps. Seriously."

"White evangelicals (56%) are also 'the only religious group with majority support for militarized encampments for undocumented immigrants.' Let that sink in."
The most ardent "pro-life" Christians in the US want militarized encampments for immigrants. Let that sink in.

PRRI has a report out re: how the electorate views Trump. It will be released later today. As with every recent poll, it finds his approval rating seriously underwater, with 52% agreeing he's a "dangerous dictator."
But not white evangelicals: Kristin Du Mez reports,
"3 in 4 white evangelicals (76%) approve of the job Trump is doing as president.
This is exactly what they voted for."

"White evangelical protestants make up the only major religious group that does not have a majority supporting a path to citizenship [for immigrants]. That support has fallen from 53% in 2013 to 40% now.
The Public Religion Research Institute survey seemed to find an element of hatred in some of the opposition to allowing more undocumented immigrants to become citizens."

"Public opinion research conducted in October [by PRRI] shows a shift in one political party that might make Donald Trump’s election on Nov. 5 less of a surprise. A majority of the party now agrees with a sentiment about immigration that has previously been associated with organized hate — that they are 'poisoning the blood of the country.'”

"Overall, the pattern is unambiguous: most white Christians – along with groups in which they constitute a majority, like the Tea Party – believe that America is on a downhill slide, while strong majorities of most other groups in the country say things are improving” (p. 87)."
But it's about the economy — always. It's NEVER about race and gender, racism and misogyny. It's about the price of eggs.

"Meanwhile, approximately six in ten Hispanic Catholics (59 percent) say the opposite – that American culture has changed for the better. Approximately six in ten (63 percent) religiously unaffiliated Americans also say American culture and way of life has changed for the better since the mid-twentieth century, as do majorities of African American Protestants (55 percent)."

PRRI finds that nearly one in four Republicans who hold a favorable view of Trump (23%), and 19% of all Republicans, say that if Donald Trump loses the election, he should declare the results invalid and do whatever it takes to assume office. Only 12% of Democrats say Kamala Harris should do the same.

"Almost half of those who indicated that they are now religiously unaffiliated — nearly a fifth of the country — say their former religion’s hostility to LGBTQ+ Americans played a role.
This makes sense."

PRRI asked those leaving churches why they are leaving:
"And nearly half (47%) of respondents who left cited negative teaching about the treatment of LGBTQ people.
Those numbers were especially high with one group in particular.'Religion's negative teaching about LGBTQ people are driving younger Americans to leave church,' [Melissa] Deckman [of PRRI] says."

Jason DeRose reports on the recently published finding of PRRI that people in the U.S. are leaving churches in record numbers, and about a quarter of Americans now identify as religiously unaffiliated, "a number that has risen over the last decade and is now the largest single religious group in the U.S."

Gosh, wonder why so many Americans would be walking away from religion right now?
"A top reason why religiously unaffiliated Americans report that they no longer identify with their childhood religion is because of the religion’s teachings about LGBTQ people (47%), up from 29% of unaffiliated Americans who left for that reason in 2016."

America’s religious landscape is undergoing transformational changes, according to a new national survey released today by PRRI.
The only major religious category experiencing widespread growth today is the religiously unaffiliated – and these folks report that they're NOT looking for a new religious home. Around a fourth of Americans identify as religiously unaffiliated in 2023, a 5 percentage point increase from 2013.
