Joe Biden courts evangelicals as polls show Trump slipping with voting bloc
By Leonardo Blair, Christian Post Reporter

As polls show President Donald Trump’s support slipping among white evangelicals, the campaign for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden sees an opening for their candidate to pull away voters from the president’s most faithful voting bloc.

“The battle for the soul of our nation deeply resonates with evangelicals,” John McCarthy, deputy national political director for the Biden Campaign, told David Brody, chief political analyst at the Christian Broadcasting Network, in a recent interview for Just the News. “They would be open to Joe Biden’s message as well.”

Earlier this month, Robert P. Jones, chief executive of the Public Religion Research Institute, noted in an interview with The New York Times that that since 2016, the share of the American population that is white and evangelical has declined by two percentage points, to 15%. A PRRI poll also found that while 80% of white evangelicals said they approved of the job the president was doing in March, by the end of May, with the coronavirus pandemic raging along with racial discord, his favorability sank to 62%. Among white Catholics, the poll also showed a decline in approval by 27%.

“He had an opportunity in March when people were looking to him. And then within four weeks he squandered it,” Jones said.

Devout evangelicals voting for Mr Pro Abortion himself....can't be true.

Evangelicals who found a way to vote for Hillary will mostly vote for Biden. But Evangelicals who voted for Trump in 2016 voting for Biden in 2020? Yeah, no. While the reasons are different on some points, Biden is easily as repugnant as was Hillary.

They want it to be true.

I want it to be true that conservatives and republicans understand the stakes. But, too many of us are acting like marionettes on a string and I wish that weren’t true.

Show this one single gif to ANY Evangelical and ask if they still either (1) want to vote for him in November , or (2) would leave him with their daughter for more than 10 minutes.
