FILE – In this May 18, 2018, file photo, President Donald Trump speaks in the East Room of the White House in Washington. The Trump administration’s latest push to wring funding from Planned Parenthood and other federally funded family planning clinics could serve as a rallying cry for conservative voters, who remain deeply loyal to the president heading into the midterm elections. Trump has also been focused on issues that galvanize his base, holding a series of events to rail against the dangers of illegal immigration and wading anew into the fight over abortion rights.

The highest support comes from white evangelical Protestants, 69% of whom approve of the job Trump is doing. This represents a decline from evangelicals’ previous approval rating of 78%, but is more than a two-thirds majority.
Among Mormons, another group that has long supported Republican candidates and presidents, Trump’s overall approval rating was lower—52%—but still in majority territory. A strong plurality of 39% of Latter-day Saints disapprove of Trump, and 10% say they have no opinion.
Gregory A. Smith, Pew’s Associate Director of Research, says that when Pew aggregates all 11 approval surveys it has conducted since Trump became president (n = 316 Mormons, with a margin of error of +/- 6.5%), several interesting trends emerge.
