President Trump saw a double-digit drop in support among white Christians since coronavirus pandemic measures began in mid-March.

Measuring by religious affiliation, Trump held the support of 77 percent of white evangelical Protestants in March 2020, up 13 percent from his 2019 ratings. But that number has since fallen back down to 66 percent at the close of April. Among white mainline Protestants, Trump's share of favorable ratings fell 18 percent from 62 percent in March to 44 percent in April.

Overall, PRRI data shows that a 54 percent majority of U.S. adults hold mostly or very unfavorable views of Trump's presidency. In mid-March, just as the White House Coronavirus Task Force was issuing social distancing guidelines to states across the country, Trump hit his highest ever rating at 49 percent. The period marked the first time in PRRI polling in which a larger share of Americans expressed a favorable view than the 46 percent who held an unfavorable view.

laughinatthegop Neither their God nor Donald Trump has helped them during this plague. Ignorance is taking a terrible toll on this population - they are dropping like flies ...

Yup

GOD: Why do you think I sent you epidemiologists?

Looks like they are coming to Jesus after fooling around in satan's maga den.

About f*ing time. It took killing grandma to turn them into humans.

Interesting 🤔

Could it be that they finally figured it out?

Still find it odd that christians didn't care about the lying, or the cheating on wives, or the cheating on taxes, or calling people nasty names, or being nasty to people in distress ..... all we needed was mismanagement of a highly contagious virus🤨

Good! Maybe there is a god

Sorry fake news!

Looks like they had to start dying to see see the light. 🙄
