🇺🇸 Donald Trump
Catholic support for Trump is declining, but is it just part of a national trend?
What happened
A recent survey by the Pew Research Center found that 42% of Catholics support Democratic candidates for Congress, while 39% support Republicans, with a significant divide among Hispanic Catholic voters. The survey also found that Catholic approval of President Trump's job performance is 30%, the same as the national average.
Why it matters
The decline in Catholic support for the Republican Party may reflect a national trend, rather than a specific shift in Catholic attitudes towards the party. The trend may have implications for the midterm elections and potential Republican candidates in the 2028 presidential election.
