“[Evangelicals] believe in absolute moral and spiritual truth, and they tend to vote those convictions at the ballot box,” pastor Robert Jeffress said.
A prominent evangelical pastor of a Texas megachurch, who is also a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump, on Sunday said Christian followers of Trump have “deeper convictions” than other devotees.
Commenting on the poll, Jeffress argued that rather than reading the 1.4 percent drop in the number of Evangelicals from 2016 to now as a negative trend, the people who identify should be seen as more devoted than ever because they are choosing to check the box.

When asked whether Trump should be concerned about the dropping evangelical rates considering the group were a key part in getting him elected in 2016, Jeffress responded by citing a “good news” Pew Research poll which found that “70 percent of evangelicals continue to support President Trump.”
