A new survey reveals that only 14% of Americans believe either Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump embody the word “Christian” extremely or very well. Despite this, a significant portion of Trump's white evangelical base continues to support him.
Only 14% of Americans say the word “Christian” describes either of the candidates extremely or very well.Vice President Kamala Harris is a Baptist who was influenced by religious traditions in her mother’s home country of India.
Evangelical leaders, she said, are pushing this idea that, “this is God’s man, and we can’t ask why. We don’t have to ask why. It doesn’t matter if he’s moral, it doesn’t matter if he’s religious. It doesn’t matter if he lies compulsively. It’s for the greater good that we get him re-elected.” Anthea Butler, professor of religious studies at the University of Pennsylvania, said white evangelicals likely see him as instrumental to their goals, such as his appointment of conservative, anti-abortion justices to the Supreme Court.For the head of the Democratic ticket, a large majority — three-quarters — of Harris’ fellow Black Protestants view her favorably and 6 in 10 say she best represents their religious beliefs.
Overall, about half of Americans surveyed said that Christian at least “somewhat” described Harris, while about one-third said so about Trump.
