I see 79% evang in 84, up from 67% in 80.
LOl....my bad....old eyes were looking at 1964.
Billy Graham got along with all the presidents from Truman to Trump, including Kennedy, Clinton, Obama and both Bushes. He wasn’t a partisan figure or somebody who’d kick someone out of his church.
Nor would he take a hard position on divisive political issues. Call it political or heretical, the man did not stand up against abortion:
The Johnson effect. HE was Veep when Kennedy was killed.
Sympathy vote.
1976 gave us the Carter effect. He was a Baptist Sunday School teacher. So naturally 'evangelicals' would tend to vote for him. My religion determined that I would NOT vote for Mormon Mitt. My politics determined that I would NOT vote for Obama, either.
