Poll: GOP seen less friendly to religion: Only 44% of population hold favorable view of Christian conservatives
The number of Americans—particularly white evangelical Protestants —who view the Republican Party as friendly to religion has fallen from 55 percent last year to 47 percent, according to a poll released last month. And less than half of the population (44 percent) holds a favorable view of Christian conservatives.
The poll, taken by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press and the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, shows Americans’ attitudes toward a host of issues touching on faith and public policy.
