A new survey from the Pew Research Center shows that U.S. evangelicals are far more likely than other Americans to see President Trump as 'honest' and 'morally upstanding' and 'somewhat religious.'
One explanation for white evangelicals' attachment to Trump is that they see him as a political ally. The Pew survey found that 63% of white evangelical Protestants believe their side has been"winning politically" under the Trump presidency. That's a dramatic turnaround from 2016, when less than one in four white evangelicals saw themselves as on the winning side.
The Pew results also show white evangelical Christians as showing support for a version of Judeo-Christian nationalism. More than 90% say they want their president to stand up not only for religious beliefs in general, but for their religious beliefs in particular, including biblical teaching.Pastors Debate Evangelical Community's Support For Trump
