Why do so many evangelical Christians support former President Donald Trump despite his decades of documented ungodly behavior?

An in-depth report from The Economist shows that it has a simple explanation: They believe that God personally appointed him to rule the United States.

In fact, the report cites a survey conducted by Denison University political scientist Paul Djupe that around 30 percent of Americans believe Trump “was anointed by God to become president.”

    I’m not sure you’re aware of how polling works. It would take many years to contact all 350 million Americans.

      Polling has long since left phones behind. Anything that’s pure phones is heavily skewed towards conservatives and older people.
