Now and then you hear reports that Donald Trump's hold on certain demographic groups is slipping. Here's a good example from today's USA Today:
President Donald Trump's support among white evangelicals has dropped nearly 10 percentage points since taking office in January 2017, according to new data from the Pew Research Center released Monday …
Trump has been a divisive figure within the evangelical community, with some prominent evangelicals — like Jerry Falwell, Jr., the president of Liberty University — staunchly defending Trump and his policies.
Others, like founder of Living Proof Ministries Beth Moore, who has a large following of mostly female evangelicals, openly oppose Trump. And some leaders, like Rick Warren, the pastor of Saddleback megachurch in Orange County, California, which serves more than 20,000 congregants on a weekly basis, have expressed mixed feelings about Trump.
You get the impression, then, that Trump's support in this specific demographic — his best — has dropped as Evangelical leaders argue over his "divisive" views and behavior. That's very misleading.
