Poll Shows Trump’s Support Dropping Among White Evangelicals The president’s approval rating continues to fall in his first year in office. No matter how much of money you can give , they're never satisfied. A new national Pew Research Center poll released Thursday shows that President Donald Trump’s approval rating is declining among demographic groups that previously gave him relatively high numbers, particularly among evangelicals. According to Pew, Trump’s approval rating among white evangelical Protestants dropped 17 percentage points from February to December, down from 78 percent to 61 percent. Eighty-one percent of white evangelical voters backed Trump in the 2016 presidential election, NPR reported. Though the decline was not as steep, Trump’s approval rating also dropped among adults 50 and older (from 47 percent to 38 percent) as well as among whites (49 percent to 41 percent). As Axios noted, Trump’s approval rating had either remained the same or dropped among every demographic group Pew polled. The survey was conducted Nov. 29 to Dec. 4 among 1,503 participants nationwide, a period during which Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI. According to a new HuffPost/YouGov poll taken in the wake of Flynn’s plea, half of Americans thought the ties between Russia and Trump’s team were a legitimate issue. Trump’s approval rating has been hitting record lows throughout his first term in office, and Pew’s latest survey is no exception. It found that 32 percent of respondents approved of Trump’s job performance while 63 percent disapproved.
I am sorry to read all that. Do you suppose that means that Trump will be stepping down next week and Hillary taking over?
MAGA hat wearing Trump supporters have reason to be a bit disappointed. They were promised "build a wall, deport them all" and they get no wall, but republican obsession with amnesty. They were promised jobs and a repeal of obamacare and they got staggering health insurance premiums and tax cuts for billionaire silicon valley assholes and Wall Street. And oh BTW North Korea can reach all of the US now with a nuke missile that we stand next to no chance of intercepting. Plus the NFL is now ruined. So of course they are unhappy.
Theological scholar explains horrifying reason Trump’s supporters celebrated Armageddon in Pensacola In a Pensacola, Florida rally Friday evening, Republican state Senator Doug Broxson suggested to supporters of Donald Trump that the president’s controversial decision to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem may usher in the biblical end times. “Now, I don’t know about you, but when I heard about Jerusalem — where the King of Kings [applause] where our soon coming King is coming back to Jerusalem, it is because President Trump declared Jerusalem to be capital of Israel,” Broxson predicted. The crowd cheered. This week, theological scholar Dr. Diana Butler Bass wrote a Twitter thread explaining the link between recognition of Jerusalem, evangelical Christians, and the apocalypse. That is important because rebuilding the Temple is the event that will spark the events of the Book of Revelation and the End Times.” According to Bass, the counsel of evangelical adviser that Trump surrounds himself with take such “End Times” prophecies literally “Of all the possible theological dog-whistles to his evangelical base, this is the biggest,” she continued. “Trump is reminding them that he is carrying out God’s will to these Last Days. They’ve been waiting for this, praying for this. They want war in the Middle East. The Battle of Armageddon, at which time Jesus Christ will return to the Earth and vanquish all God’s enemies.” She warned that for some evangelicals this is considered a “climax of history.” “And Trump is taking them there. To the promised judgment, to their sure victory. The righteous will be ushered to heaven; the reprobate will be banished to hellfire,” Bass went on. “People believe this. Really believe this. Have given their lives to these ideas, sing about them in their churches, evangelize others, teach them in Sunday schools. And, this morning, with the news of Jerusalem, these people are ecstatic. This is the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. And Donald Trump is not only acting on a campaign promise, but enacting a theological one.” She went on to explain that the reason many white evangelicals supported Trump to the tune of 80 percent is more than an abortion issue. Many actually believe that Trump is unfolding God’s purpose. “They believe that Donald Trump is God’s instrument to move us closer to the Rapture, the Judgment, and the End,” she wrote. “Because to them, that’s actually the beginning — the beginning of their reward and heavenly bliss.” Other religious groups might raise hell about the disruption of peace and stability, but Bass explained that evangelicals don’t care because they’re anticipating peace in another world than the Earth. “What matters is that Jesus comes back in Judgement,” she continued. “To these sorts of Christians, that Judgment is the only true peace. Everything is phony, deceptive, even evil. Millions of American Christians believe all this. Millions of Trump voters. Sacred history is unfolding right now because of Donald Trump and God. They’ve based their faith, their identity, their purpose, their eternal lives on these ideas. Trust me. There’s no arguing with any of it.” Dr. Robert Jeffress, the senior pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas celebrated Jerusalem officially becoming the capital of Israel because it will be where Jesus Christ returns. “It is the place where Jesus, a Jew himself, was crucified and where he was resurrected. It is the place where he will set foot again on earth at his second coming,” he said in a statement. The United Church of God names the 7 prophecies that foretell the second coming of Christ. 1. The human race would have the ability to exterminate itself (nuclear weapons) 2. A Jewish homeland had to be reestablished in the Middle East (Trump has now proclaimed Jerusalem the capital) 3. There must be two leaders: The end-time king of the North and king of the South “At the time of the end the king of the South shall attack him; and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them and pass through. He shall also enter the Glorious Land [the Holy Land], and many countries shall be overthrown” (Daniel 11:40-41). 4. An end-time union of European nations (European Union) 5. End-time rise and fall of Israel and Judah 6. The gospel will be preached in all the world (YouTube) 7. Instant worldwide communications and God’s final witnesses (The internet)
Don't tell them that Barron Trump's real mommy was a jackal. Or was that a movie? not that it matters with these dumbasses. Backpacking through America I were invited to some Holy Pentecostal whatever church to see a snake handler preacher. The snakes bit the crap out of the guy, he was bleeding profusely however they were just so full of the 'spirit' nobody cared. They did have good cake after. American Evanwhatevers make the Muslims look sane. The Eternal Sea (of politics).
how does the us placing an embassy in Isreal have anything to do with the anti christ and then the second coming. besides I don't think you have to worry about the end of times and the second coming until 3rd Temple replaces the the muslim dome on the temple mount. if evangelicals are supporting trump is because they think its the right thing to do. not because they think its part of the end times prophecy. of course you might find a one in a million exception.
Evangelicals don't vote in a pact as much as they use to,they've been lied to by their leaders as much as the blacks by the dems.
No Jem, it is because they want the world to end with them at the front of the queue they voted for Trump. They are nutcases. "Evangelicals overall (43%) are more likely to believe in a pretribulation rapture." This is just another step for those idiots.
