A new survey asked respondents who Jesus would vote for in the 2020 presidential election. Trump came in ahead but only by a small margin.<\/p>\n

The survey conducted by the Christian activist group, Vote Common Good, found that across Evangelicals and Catholics, 28 percent say Jesus would vote for Donald Trump, and 27 percent say that he would vote for Joe Biden in the 2020 election.<\/p>\n

About 23 percent said Jesus would not vote, and 22 percent said Jesus would be equally likely to vote for either candidate, or they didn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

Vote Common Good is a voter mobilization nonprofit that is holding events in swing states to persuade evangelicals not to vote for Trump. The poll asserts that it is the largest survey of swing state faith voters in the 2020 cycle.<\/p>\n

The survey was created and evaluated by a team of behavioral scientists from multiple institutions, including the University of Maryland, the University of Southern California, the University of North Carolina, and Duke University.<\/p>\n

The survey data is made up of responses from 1,430 respondents registered to vote who also live in one of five swing states: Michigan, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Florida, and Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 2020 election is currently on track to produce an 11 percent swing towards Biden compared with 2016 among Evangelicals and Catholics, averaging across both Christian denominations and all five swing states surveyed,\u201d an analysis of the data stated.<\/p>\n

Among swing state Catholics, the new report indicates that the 2020 election will produce a 16 percent swing toward Biden, who is Catholic, the Christian Post reports.<\/p>\n

The report also suggests that there will be a 7-point evangelical vote swing in support of Biden in the five battleground states.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
