Religion & Politics

Around half of Catholic registered voters describe themselves as Republicans, while 47% identify with the Democratic Party.

Republicans and Democrats' opinions differ on many aspects of the outbreak, including views about religious practices during the pandemic.

Trump’s approval rating has dropped among a range of religious groups, including white evangelicals – though they remain strongly supportive.

Six-in-ten black adults say it is important for houses of worship to address “political topics such as immigration and race relations.”

White evangelical Protestants are slightly less positive about the president's response to the coronavirus pandemic now than in March.

President Trump has called himself a defender of religious liberty. But how do Americans see his administration’s effect on religious groups?

Roughly nine-in-ten or more U.S. adults say it is either somewhat or very important to have a president who lives a moral, ethical life.

About half of Americans say the Bible should have at least “some” influence on U.S. laws; 23% say it should have “a great deal” of influence.

A majority of Americans say Trump is “not too” or “not at all” religious. Half either say they’re not sure what his religion is or that he has none.

Few United States adults – just 5% – say God chose Donald Trump to be president because God approves of his policies.
