A new Public Religion Research Institute poll find a 52% majority of Republican voters agreed with the statement that “God intended America to be a new promised land where European Christians could create a society that could be an example to the rest of the world.”
Only about two-in-ten Democrats and three-in-ten independents agreed.
Said PRRI president Robert Jones to CNN about Republicans: “I should say it straight here: it really is this view of a country that is a White Christian country. That’s the vision that is being put forward. In many ways that is the vision that holds this whole thing together.”
