The question is this — how is “Evangelical” defined?

The Pew Poll shades light into this — the CHURCH GOING Evangelical vote for Cruz. Those who seldom go to church but still call themselves Evangelical vote for Trump.

Cruz lost the race when he lost the South, and he lost the South because he lost among Christians and there were not enough Mormons to make up the deficit.

The Poll CLARIFIES the voting results.

Sounds like NC and SC have been insulted. The evangelical churches I know in Raleigh are regularly attended and many of our friends and associates attend and are strong Trump supporters. I bet we have higher regular church attendance than most states in NC and SC.

I call BS on this article! We just don’t trust pollsters enough to answer their invasive questions.

Except by a small margin in Iowa where did Grandpa Munster beat Trump among Evangelicals? He lost the whole South except Texas where he didn’t even get a majority. Ok I’ll give you Okla. But where is Grandpa Munster’s Evangelical strength? New Hampshire?

No the poll tries to resell the lie that Cruz does better with Evangelicals a proven lie by real world results in the mostly Evangelical south.

Actually the poll shows that Ted Cruz does better with church going evangelicals, if it’s a lie then you have an issue with the polls and its methodology.

Cruz does better among cults.

Hardly, as the Title of the article says it tries to parse out Evangelicals for Cruz a proven false witness based on real world.

I go to a non-denominational congregation that adheres to the historic creeds of the Christian faith — The Apostle’s Creed, the Nicene Creed.

We are members of the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals:

Trump won both states and evangelicals I know feel it their duty to God and country to vote so they voted.

Regardless of how you personally feel about Ted Cruz, the results of the poll shows what it shows.

The poll tries to differentiate between People who are regular church goers and those who are not.

The former support Cruz, the latter support Trump.

And I’m a Prot-to-Catholic convert, and I don’t know if Steve “Varys the” Schmidt and Nicolle Wallace are thinking “We sandbagged Palin for this?” but if they’re not, they’re even more stupid and stubborn than I thought.
