In a recent poll, Pew Research found that 72% of White evangelicals approve of King Donnie \u2014 er, President Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the approval ratings for other religious groups in the Pew poll:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>72% \u2014 White Protestant Christian, evangelical<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>51% \u2014 White Protestant Christian, not evangelical<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>51% \u2014 White Catholic Christian<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>40% \u2014 All US adults<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>26% \u2014 Hispanic Catholic Christian<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>26% \u2014 Religiously unaffiliated<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>10% \u2014 Black Protestant Christian<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I was a bit surprised that these approval ratings are very similar to Trump&#8217;s first term. In their report, Pew Research says: &#8220;Both among the U.S. public as a whole and among major religious groups, Trump\u2019s current approval ratings are on par with what they were around the same time in his first term (April 2017).&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not surprisingly, White Evangelicals support Trump&#8217;s extensive use of executive orders \u2014 53% of them feel that Trump is doing about the right amount by executive order. Only 27% of White evangelicals think Trump is doing too much by executive order, 15% are unsure, and 5% feel he&#8217;s doing too little by executive order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;d be jumping to conclusions if, based on this one survey, I said that White evangelicals are OK with a president who&#8217;s seems to be trying to operate like a king.
