"In 2016, Trump won White evangelical Protestants by 61 points. A third of his votes came from that demographic. A third of his votes came from evangelicals in 2020, too, with his margin widening to 68 points.
Evangelical Americans are not uniformly Republican but are overwhelmingly so. They are also unusually receptive to Trump’s central campaign pitch that America’s best days are in the past."
