The American Jewish population, like other religious groups, is in flux. Still, 88% of U.S. adults who were raised Jewish are still Jewish.
President Trump continues to be White Christians’ preferred candidate, but support among voters in three traditions has slipped since August.
Trump’s approval rating has dropped among a range of religious groups, including white evangelicals – though they remain strongly supportive.
Few United States adults – just 5% – say God chose Donald Trump to be president because God approves of his policies.
Early indications are that candidate preferences by religion will be familiar in November – and closely linked to each group’s party leanings.
While U.S. Jews have a strong attachment to Israel, they are divided in their assessment of Trump’s handling of the Israeli-Palestinian issue.
Roughly seven-in-ten white evangelical Protestants approve of Trump’s presidential job performance. Other religious groups are more divided.
Nearly eight-in-ten black Americans identify as Christian, compared with 70% of whites, 77% of Latinos and just 34% of Asian Americans.
Most Christians in America say that whether someone is a man or a woman is determined by their sex at birth. Yet, many religious “nones” have different views.
