Former President Trump's renewed support among evangelical voters, particularly in Iowa, has become a significant focus in the 2024 election. Evangelicals have traditionally been a crucial voting block for GOP candidates, and Trump's dominance among this group could have a significant impact on the upcoming Iowa caucuses.
According to a September 2023 survey conducted by the Deseret News and Harris, more than half of Republicans view Trump as a person of faith. This belief seems to be evident in Iowa as well, as the latest polling from the Des Moines Register and Media Com indicates that Trump is currently leading among Iowa GOP caucus voters with 51% support. In comparison, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis trails far behind with only half of Trump's support, while Nikki Haley's support is even lower, at just a quarter of Trump's.
