President Trump was elected in large part by evangelical Christians and polling shows he is doing even better among faith-based voters, which conservative religious leaders hope to translate into votes.
Born-again or evangelical Christians made up nearly one-fourth of the 2016 electorate, 80 percent of whom cast their vote for Trump, according to exit polling. A Public Opinion Strategies poll now says that number is at an 83 percent approval rating.

Am expecting dems to lose the House
You’d be surprised how many CINO’s would hold off voting for Trump because of his sordid past.
They’d actually prefer an Islamist-Abortionist over soiling their consciences with a vote for DJT.
Look at all of Trump’s opponents. No Christian is going to vote for any of them.
The Gospel Coalition has a few Trump haters who wring their hands every couple of weeks.
Sad to see a usually solid theological site go to the SJW side. They get PLENTY of pushback, though. They’re not winning many converts to Trump hate.
Chants from Florida today....
"Lock her up"
"Build the wall"
"Drain the swamp"
Nothing for "fix the economy".
Bush 41 once lied to his base and said "read my lips, no new taxes". Then next time around his base stayed home and he got his ass kicked by a Clinton. Hope Trump is more honest than this!
In 2020, it's JUSTICE STUPID!
More need to run for office... not just vote.
Yes, some will go Democrat because they lack knowledge of politics and biblical commitment.
