U.S. faith groups agree: Trump should act more presidential

Americans disagree over just about everything — from gender roles and immigration to impeachment and whether the country is on the right track.

Three-quarters of Americans (73%) say they wish “Trump’s speech and behavior were more consistent with past presidents,” according to a new report from the Public Religion Research Institute.

Faith groups agree, including a majority of black Protestants (81%), Hispanic Protestants (74%), white mainline Protestants (72%), Catholics (70%) and members of non-Christian faiths (69%). Americans with no religious affiliation (85%) also agree, as do a majority (albeit a smaller majority) of white evangelical Protestants (52%), who remain among Trump’s most ardent supporters.
