Half of Protestant Pastors Back Trump
Recent Lifeway Research offers insight into how pastors are
voting in 2020.
Almost all Protestant pastors plan to participate in the 2020
election, but around a quarter still haven’t decided who will
get their presidential vote.
In the latest election survey, Nashville-based LifeWay Research
found 98% of Protestant pastors in the U.S. say they plan to
vote in the presidential election.
When they cast their ballot, 53% of pastors likely to vote say
they plan to do so for Donald Trump. Around 1 in 5 (21%) say
they are voting for Joe Biden. A similar percentage (22%) say
they are still undecided. About 4% say they are voting for a
different candidate.
“Pastors vote like any other American,” said Scott McConnell,
executive director of LifeWay Research. “The large number of
pastors who are still undecided may reflect difficulty in
finding a candidate who aligns with their overall beliefs. Also,
some pastors are intensely private about their political
preferences and may prefer to respond ‘undecided’ than to even
confidentially share their voting intentions.”
Presidential votes
Compared to 2016, the president has much higher levels of
support among pastors this year.
In a 2016 LifeWay Research survey, 40% of pastors were undecided
midway through September. Around a third supported Trump (32%).
Hillary Clinton, the Democratic party nominee, garnered 19%,
while Libertarian Gary Johnson had 4%.
For the 2020 election, support for the Democratic and
third-party candidates remains similar, but around half of the
number of undecided pastors in 2016 now say they will vote for
Trump.
“There were a lot of unknowns in 2016, including Trump being an
outsider candidate and little sense of how others would respond
to supporting his candidacy,” said McConnell. “Pastors know
their options for 2020, and a majority are willing to vote for
him.”
Among self-identified evangelical pastors, Trump’s support is
similar to that of evangelicals across the country. Almost 7 in
10 evangelical pastors (68%) say they plan to vote for the
president, compared to 20% of mainline pastors. In a recent
LifeWay Research survey, 6 in 10 Americans who hold evangelical
beliefs (61%) pick Trump over Biden (29%).
Among African American pastors, 61% choose Biden, while 6% say
they plan to vote for Trump. Younger pastors, age 18 to 44, are
the least likely age demographic to back the president for
reelection (41%).
Denominationally, Pentecostal (70%) and Baptist pastors (67%)
are more likely to vote for Trump than pastors in the
Restorationist movement (49%), Lutherans (43%),
Presbyterian/Reformed (24%) or Methodists (22%).
The same percentage of Protestant pastors in the U.S. and
American evangelicals by belief identify as Republican (51%).
Around 1 in 6 pastors (16%) say they are a Democrat, while 23%
see themselves as an independent.
Both major party presidential candidates retain the support of
pastors who identify with their party. More than 4 in 5
Democratic pastors (85%) plan to vote for Biden. Similarly, 81%
of Republican pastors support Trump.
Motivating issues
Unlike Americans with evangelical beliefs, Protestant pastors
say abortion and religious liberty are two of the most important
issues driving their presidential choice this November.
When asked which characteristics of the candidates are important
in deciding how to vote, clear majorities of pastors say the
candidate’s position on abortion (70%), their ability to protect
religious freedom (65%) and their likely Supreme Court nominees
(62%) are key factors.
Close to half point to an ability to improve the economy (54%),
ability to maintain national security (54%), personal character
(53%), their position on immigration (51%), ability to address
racial injustice (51%) and their position on the size and role
of government (47%).
Around a third (35%) say the candidate’s ability to slow the
spread of COVID-19 is important.
Pastors also selected the single issue most important to
determining their vote. Only the candidate’s position on
abortion (25%), their personal character (22%), ability to
protect religious freedom (16%) or likely Supreme Court nominees
(10%) are seen as the primary issue by at least 1 in 10
Protestant pastors.
In a recent LifeWay survey of all Americans, voters with
evangelical beliefs are most likely to point to an ability to
improve the economy (22%) and an ability to slow the spread of
COVID (16%) as the primary issue in deciding their presidential
vote. Fewer say abortion (11%) or religious freedom (11%) are
their primary issue.
“A microcosm of the national debate about COVID-19 has been
directed at pastors this year as they have made decisions about
necessary precautions for their own church,” said McConnell.
“Despite the drastic changes the pandemic has caused to ministry
and church practices, most pastors give much higher priority to
other national concerns than a candidate’s ability to slow the
spread of this virus.”
Evangelical and mainline pastors have different values they
believe are important in this election.
Protestant pastors who identify as evangelical are more likely
than mainline pastors to see as important in determining their
vote: abortion (82% to 38%), protection of religious freedom
(72% to 41%), likely Supreme Court nominees (70% to 53%),
maintaining national security (58% to 47%) and the size and role
of government (52% to 36%).
Mainline pastors, on the other hand, are more likely than their
evangelical counterparts to say addressing racial injustice (73%
to 44%), the candidate’s personal character (73% to 46%) and
slowing the spread of COVID-19 (55% to 28%) are a key part of
their presidential choice.
In terms of the most important issue in determining their vote,
evangelical pastors are more likely than mainline pastors to say
abortion (33% to 5%), while mainline pastors are more likely to
point to personal character as the most vital issue in this
election (44% to 14%).
For more information, view the complete report or visit
LifeWayResearch.com.
Methodology: The mixed mode survey of 1,000 Protestant pastors
was conducted Sept. 2 to Oct. 1, 2020 using both phone and
online interviews. For phone interviews, the calling list was a
stratified random sample, drawn from a list of all Protestant
churches. Quotas were used for church size. For online
interviews, invitations were emailed to the LifeWay Research
Pastor Panel followed by three reminders. This probability
sample of Protestant churches was created by phone recruiting by
LifeWay Research using random samples selected from all
Protestant churches. Pastors who agree to be contacted by email
for future surveys make up this LifeWay Research Pastor Panel.
Each survey was completed by the senior or sole pastor or a
minister at the church. Responses were weighted by region and
church size to more accurately reflect the population. The
completed sample is 1,007 surveys (502 by phone, 505 online).
The sample provides 95% confidence that the sampling error does
not exceed plus or minus 3.4%. This margin of error accounts for
the effect of weighting. Margins of error are higher in
sub-groups.

White Evangelicals Are Actually for Trump in 2020, Not Just
Against His Opponent
Polls show faithful supporters no longer see the Republican
incumbent as the “lesser of two evils.”
While white evangelicals’ support for President Donald Trump is
close to the strong backing he enjoyed in 2016, voters’
motivations have shifted during his first term at the White
House.
This year, a majority are excited to get behind Trump, rather
than being primarily motivated by a distaste for his opponent.
Among white evangelical Trump supporters, most characterize
their vote in 2020 as “for Trump” (57%) and not “against Joe
Biden” (20%), according to new Pew Research Center survey
breakouts provided to CT.
Last presidential election, the numbers told a different story.
White evangelicals voting for the Republican were more likely to
say their vote was “against Clinton” (45%) than “for Trump”
(30%) in Pew’s 2016 survey—which researchers caution isn’t
directly comparable to the recent numbers because it was done by
phone, while this year’s was done online.
Tony Suarez, executive vice president of the National Hispanic
Christian Leadership Conference, says four years will change
your perspective. He served on Trump’s faith advisory panel
leading up to the 2016 election. This time, he’s actively
campaigning for reelection.
“Now I’m more than an adviser,” said Suarez, who has spoken at
Evangelicals for Trump events around the country. “It’s my call
because of what I’ve seen in the last four years. … He respects
prayer, receives prayer, and respects the faith community, but
he gets a bad rap.”
Trump’s reputation is also an animating factor on the Left,
where more Biden voters overall say they are voting “against
Trump” than “for Biden.”
The only religious group that considers itself “for Biden” is
black Protestants; 90 percent back the former vice president and
over half say they are voting for him and not against the
current president, Pew found. In comparison, among the 17
percent of white evangelicals who lean toward Biden,
three-quarters say they are motivated to vote “against Trump.”
Nathan Hoag, an evangelical pastor in Colorado, says his choice
to vote Democrat “has little to do with my approval of Biden and
almost everything to do with my disapproval of Trump.” He said
the decision was easier this year after seeing four years of the
administration’s policies.
Though it’s still a minority position among white evangelicals,
faith-based opposition to Trump has grown far more organized in
2020 and is focusing on the concerns shared by voters like Hoag.
Not Our Faith, a bipartisan Christian super PAC whose advisers
include former Obama staffer Michael Wear, is the latest effort
to launch. The organization will join a burgeoning
number—Republican Voters Against Trump, Christians Against
Trumpism, Evangelicals for Biden, and Pro-Life Evangelicals for
Biden—formed to rally believers to vote the current president
out of office.
The increasingly vocal opposition cites Christian convictions
around issues like racism, health care, poverty, and climate
science, as well as concerns with Trump’s tone.
“We believe Christians who use, excuse and embrace toxic
rhetoric to achieve specific policy ‘wins’ are short-sighted and
wrong,” stated Christians Against Trumpism.
Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden said that beyond abortion, “Joe
Biden’s policies are more consistent with the biblically shaped
ethic of life than those of Donald Trump.”
Suarez and other evangelicals siding with the president have
pushed back against the evangelical minority speaking up for
Biden.
The president still feels the love from his evangelical base. On
a prayer call on Sunday evening, he said, “Whether it’s
evangelical, whether it’s Christian evangelical, call it
whatever you want, people of religion, this is the most
important election of our lives. We have got to get out and we
have to vote.”
Joined by his daughter-in-law Lara Trump, pastor Paula
White-Cain, and other evangelical leaders who have joined
campaign efforts, the president—less than a week after being
discharged from his coronavirus hospitalization—offered up his
prayers.
“I want to thank God for working miracles, and I want to ask God
for the wisdom and grace to lead our country and to lead it on
the top level,” Trump said to more than 100,000 supporters
tuning in. “We’re going to make America greater than ever
before.”
For white evangelicals who have stood by Trump, this is what
they see from the president: a leader who prays and welcomes
their prayers and who has kept his promises to improve the
economy, uphold pro-life stances, and appoint conservative
justices.
Like white evangelicals overall, evangelical pastors have grown
more confident in the president. At this point in 2016, they
were more likely to say they didn’t know whom they’d vote for
than to side with candidate Trump, according to a LifeWay
Research survey.
This year’s survey found that more than two-thirds of
evangelical pastors plan to vote for Trump (68%). LifeWay found
that Pentecostal (70%) and Baptist pastors (67%) are more likely
to vote for Trump than pastors in the Restorationist movement
(49%), Lutherans (43%), Presbyterian/Reformed (24%), or
Methodists (22%).
The racial divide among evangelical voters holds for pastors
too. Only 6 percent of African American pastors say they support
Trump, while a majority (61%) will be voting for Biden.

This is happening all over the country. Democrats placed in
positions to count votes and refuse certified observers or allow
Republicans to count as well. Who’s got insight on this process
and why this is happening?..

My issue is even Trump appointment judges have said until they
have evidence and not just rumors there has been no fraud. It
most likely will be like in 2016 when both parties yelled fraud.
nationwide the trump appointed commission led by Kobach only
found 12 ballots that were confirmed to be a fraud. Another 50
to 100 that were questionable. This is out of over 150
million.
The states with forced recounts by both party in 2016 changed
only one state by 500 in one state.
I am sorry but all this rhetoric feels like divisive sour
grapes. It is democracy in action and likes or dislikes it
this is how it goes. I was where all trump supporters were four
years ago. I am still alien, still healthy, and still enjoying
life. I chose not to let anger over trumps election ruin my
life. I hope in a week or too you all will also and friendship
and moving forward can happen.
As for fake ballots or election fraud, the minute its proven,
solid evidence, I will be the first on the Democratic side on
here to condemn it and demand it be fixed. There is no place
for that in America and in Democracy, no matter which parties
does it.
Love you all, bless you all and consider you all my friends no
matter who is in what office.

My question is who is Project Veritas, is this confirmed by
other non-partisan agencies, who are the votes for, and how
many?
From what I can find out project veritas is a right lean
republican trump supporting media agency. They have only
existed during Trump's time and never support any type of report
that would give any doubt to a truth supporting any position
other than trump. I have searched for any other site include
republican sites and found no others reporting this yet. There
was no statement I could find on how many and who for. I will
withhold my judgment on this at this time
But most importantly for me, have those involved been
questioned, and is legal action going to happen if it raises to
that level. If this is true it is unacceptable.

I make posts from different sources. Especially from citizen
journalists using their cellphones. It's not about right or left
to me. It's about America and what's best for America. The
mainstream media often refers to "anonymous or unnamed sources"
and what they say sounds more like their opinions than fact
based news.

I agree about mainstream media. While the era of blindly
believing them is long dead.
I am skeptical of any source from any place. Too many years
doing investigative style work digging for facts for me not to
question everything. The Socratic side of me comes out.
