I think it was 81% at that point.

The question is "how many of them will show up to vote?"

A lot of their preachers are telling them they'll roast in hell if they don't go to the polls and vote for Trump.

We’ve picked up in almost every other demographic.

The scary scenario is that there were millions of them who didn’t vote in 2016. They didn’t believe that he would actually appoint the judges he said he had on his list.

“Almost all of them” is worlds better than five million more.

The preachers were telling them to vote for Trump then, too.

10. "White Evangelicals favor tRump"

Right... They are for the guy who cheated on wife #one with a #two (who got pregnant while he was still married to wife #one).
He then cheated on wife #two with a #three and then cheated on wife #three with a porn star and Playboy model, now enjoys the full support of this church and party of Conservative Evangelicals?
I call bullshit. They, like tRump are in it for the money.. The "Prosperity" gospel crap...
Follow the money and I believe that's why they support him..
YMMV
