Trump suffers slip in approval among white evangelicals

Published July 1, 2020 2:24pm ET



Support for President Trump among white evangelicals, one of his key constituencies, slipped in June, a poll taken by the Pew Research Center found.

Trump’s approval rating with the demographic rests at 72%, down 6 percentage points from where a similar poll found it in April, versus a 5-point drop that occurred among the population in general. The share of evangelicals who say they “strongly approve” of the job he’s doing, specifically in the areas of the coronavirus pandemic and the protests following the death of George Floyd, is also down, from 67% to 59%.
