Donald Trump’s approval rate among white evangelicals has slipped since the onset of the pandemic in March. What does this signify for Trump’s re-election campaign? In an article about the 2020 Republican Party’s heavy religious rhetoric, Newsweek quoted Richard Flory:
“It’s just not natural for evangelicals to vote for Democrats,” Flory said. “In the end, they’ll support Trump because he tells them what they want to hear. The fear taps into a deep strain of the American evangelical of the way they understand the world: it’s going down and you gotta get saved.”
