As Trump’s Support Slips, White Evangelicals Remain His Republican Bedrock

Reuters/Ipsos polling shows Trump’s support among white evangelicals fell to 63%, but their turnout could still shape Senate control.

  • Reuters/Ipsos polling shows support for President Donald Trump among white evangelicals fell to 63% this month from 77% in January 2025, yet they remain his most reliable constituency heading into the November 3 midterm elections.
  • White evangelicals, who comprise about 13% of U.S. adults, accounted for nearly one-third of Trump's 2024 winning coalition and have supported him at rates above 80% across all three presidential campaigns.
  • Worshippers at Village Church in Blythewood, South Carolina, gathered for a 'Bible and Politics' sermon last week, where attendee Karen Whiting plans to support Republican Senate candidate Darline Graham over Democratic challenger Annie Andrews.
  • Republican Senate candidate Graham holds a narrow lead over Andrews in polling, though her narrow August runoff victory underscores lingering internal party unease about her candidacy and conservative credentials.
  • Crucial Senate races in Iowa and Kansas depend on evangelical loyalty to determine control of Congress, as many voters continue to trust Trump to address national challenges despite frustrations over the war in Iran and rising costs.
