Donald Trump does not speak often about his Christian faith, but it’s not a problem for many evangelical voters. A new poll released Wednesday by the Pew Research Center shows that 78% of white evangelical voters would vote for Trump if the election were held today. By contrast, about a one-quarter of evangelicals said they “strongly” supported Romney at this point four years ago. The survey, which queried 2,245 voters and was conducted June 15-26, found about a third of white evangelical respondents said they strongly support Trump’s campaign. That’s higher than the 73% of evangelicals who voiced support for Mitt Romney, an active member of the Mormon Church, at the same point in the 2012 presidential race.
