Religious Americans Are Pro-Trump
On June 20, Pew Research Center released the findings of a new poll on President Trump's job performance. It found that 39 percent of the public approves of his performance in office, while 55 percent disapproves. But among those who attend church weekly or more the respective figures are 48 percent and 45 percent. This suggests that it is secularists who are driving down his approval ratings.
Among white non-Hispanic Evangelical Protestants, Trump wins the approval of 74 percent; 20 percent disapprove. Among white non-Hispanic Catholics, he wins the support of 52 percent; 42 percent disapprove.
Overall, 48 percent of Protestants approve of the president's performance, while 45 percent disapprove. Among Catholics, the figures are 38 percent and 56 percent. The drop-off in support overall is clearly due to the Hispanic input. Here's more proof.
White non-Hispanics, independent of religious affiliation, approve of Trump's handling of the job by a margin of 50 percent to 44 percent. But among Hispanics, the figures are 20 percent and 72 percent, respectively.
Trump's lack of support among Hispanics is well known, but more controversial is his support among the faithful. To take a line from President Bill Clinton, he feels their pain.
Two weeks ago, President Trump told religious Americans that the "bitter voices" of elites are responsible for the "hatred" and "prejudice" toward religion. Saying the faithful are "under siege," he vowed to "put a stop to the attacks on religion," pledging to "end discrimination against people of faith."
This is a welcome change from the Obama years where the executive branch used its powers to challenge the autonomy of churches and religious non-profits. The faithful are taking note, redounding to the favor of President Trump.
With regard to the role of religion, two conclusions seem plain. One, religious Americans like the president. Two, secularists don't like him. A third conclusion, based on other data, is also warranted: militant secular activists are the "bitter voices" of hatred and prejudice against the faithful.
This is one more reason why the culture war is not going away, and why practicing Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Mormons, and Muslims must stand up to the bullies who are leading the attacks against them. http://www.cnsnews.com/commentary/bill-donohue/religious-americans-are-pro-trump

The elite secular progressive left is responsible for the hate and prejudice against Christianity and its believers. The bitter left has us under siege. Trump has wisely taken a stand in favor of religious liberty.
What does that say about religious people when they support a pussy grabbing, lying, cheating, stealing, adulterous, perverted, ignorant moron?
What does it say about how extreme and out of touch the Democrats are that religious people prefer a "pussy grabbing, lying, cheating, stealing, adulterous, perverted, ignorant moron?"
Democrats spent a billion dollars defining Trump just they the way they wanted to, yet Americans still think the Democrats are too crazy and crazy to elect in his place.
Sean, in 2016 Republican House candidates got 49.1% of the vote nationally, and Democratic House candidates got 48% of the vote nationally.
Republicans won more seats and have a majority, but the idea that "the people" or "the nation" rejects Democrats and embraces Republicans is just nonsense and a lie.
"the nation" rejects Democrats and embraces Republican
There is a Republican President.
There is a Republican House
There is a Republican Senate.
The Republicans control the majority of governorship.
They control the majority of State legislatures.
If this isn't what rejection of the Democratic party looks like, I don't know what is.
Sean , CLEARLY all of that can happen without the Republicans achieving a strong majority of Americans votes. I say clearly, because it happened that way.
There is a Republican President.
who lost the popular vote by 3 million
There is a Republican House
which lost seats in the last election while winning the plurality of the vote over the Democrats by 1.1%
There is a Republican Senate.
they also lost 2 seats in the last election
Bill and Hill were far worse than Trump when it comes to sexual indiscretions
How many times have Bill and Hillary been divorced? What does the Bible have to say about divorce?
All the affairs each have had on the side while maintaining their marriage for political purposes is even worse than if they had gotten a divorce on Biblical grounds when the 1st one cheated.
ok God.
I never claimed that title but I'm glad you accept that He exists and is quite real. Given the choice in the last election, Trump was by far the better choice for voters who are believers.
Comment removed skirting the CoC [ph]
Really?

Well some progressives commented here but couldn't stay on topic.
