White evangelicals love Trump more than ever


White evangelicals have more faith in President Trump than ever before.
A new survey from the Public Religion Research Institute shows 75 percent of white evangelical protestants have a favorable view of Trump. When it comes to 2020, 69 percent of Republican or Republican-leaning evangelicals said they'd support Trump over another candidate.
That's a huge spike from the 2016 election, where evangelical support for Trump stayed below 50 percent until September of that year.
