White evangelicals love Trump more than ever.

From PRI:

Trump's support among white evangelicals at this stage of his presidency is strikingly solid. While there are modest differences by gender, Trump's favorability among white evangelical women is still a robust 71 percent, compared to 81 percent among white evangelical men. And Trump's favorability is still a strong 68 percent among college-educated white evangelicals, compared to 78 percent among those without a college degree.

Looking ahead to the 2020 election, Trump's support among white evangelicals is also strong. White evangelical Protestants who identify with or lean toward the Republican Party say they would prefer Donald Trump, rather than another candidate, to be the GOP nominee for president in 2020 (69 percent vs. 23 percent).

White evangelicals are on the decline: "About 17 percent of Americans now identify as white evangelical, compared to 23 percent a decade ago," according to PBS. It could be that they are afraid of going extinct, and think of Trump as their lifeboat.
