Majority of white Christians, Hispanic Protestants backed Trump in 2024: poll

[Michie]

A new survey reveals that most white Christians and Hispanic Protestants supported President-elect Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election as discussions continue about the influence of voters’ religious beliefs on their political affiliation.

The Public Religion Research Institute released a report examining the results of the 2024 presidential election broken down by religious affiliation. The report is based on responses collected from 5,772 adults and a subsample of 4,757 adults who voted in the 2024 presidential election between Nov. 8 and Dec. 2. The respective samples have margins of error of +/-1.7 percentage points and +/-1.9 percentage points.

Trump, the Republican nominee in the 2024 presidential election, received his strongest level of support among white Evangelicals, measured at 85%. Just 14% of white Evangelicals backed Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee.

I am surprised that character matters so little to people who self-identify as religious.
To me, poor character is a 100% deal breaker.

I think the majority that the op is discussing feel the exact same way.

That was a culture war issue for those people. Frankly, it was a concern of my family as well.

Obviously using very different (and not generally accepted ) criteria.

No I am not willing to judge whole groups of people by your partisan standards of what character is. That’s a problem.

Better a person who benefits you than someone who undermines all your foundational Christian beliefs as Kamala would have. But Kamala and your democrats cannot be said to have character.

Honesty, kindness, treating others with respect aren't "partisan." And all three are generally accepted criteria of good character.

Where was that the last 4 years???

None of which character traits are exhibited by your team Fantine. So lay off the moral self righteousness.

….like Biden calling Trump supporters garbage wasn’t “poor character”?

None of those traits describe Biden or Harris.

That comment was noticeable for its rarity, and while I agree it was wrong, I am most concerned about deeply entrenched dysfunctional behavior.

Fair enough.
