Faith and Politics: How Christians Voted

Preliminary analytics show most Evangelicals supported Trump

Influence Magazine on November 14, 2016

Last week’s presidential election came as a surprise to many, as the majority of polls had predicted a Clinton win. As Donald Trump is now the president-elect of the United States, many researchers are going back to take a second look at how the faithful voted.

According to Pew Research, “fully eight-in-ten self-identified white, born-again/evangelical Christians say they voted for Trump, while just 16 percent voted for Clinton.” Yet, Pew reports, those who attend religious services less often were more divided on their votes — of Americans who attend church monthly, 46 percent voted for Clinton, while 49 percent chose Trump.

As the race was so close, it is likely that many in your congregation still to this day hold opposing views. For more on this, see “Leading in a New Era.”
