President Trump saw a double-digit drop in support among white Christians since coronavirus pandemic measures began in mid-March.
Measuring by religious affiliation, Trump held the support of 77 percent of white evangelical Protestants in March 2020, up 13 percent from his 2019 ratings. But that number has since fallen back down to 66 percent at the close of April. Among white mainline Protestants, Trump's share of favorable ratings fell 18 percent from 62 percent in March to 44 percent in April.
Overall, PRRI data shows that a 54 percent majority of U.S. adults hold mostly or very unfavorable views of Trump's presidency. In mid-March, just as the White House Coronavirus Task Force was issuing social distancing guidelines to states across the country, Trump hit his highest ever rating at 49 percent. The period marked the first time in PRRI polling in which a larger share of Americans expressed a favorable view than the 46 percent who held an unfavorable view.
