82% of White Evangelicals Still Voted Republican — but Only 17% of the Electorate | 11/5/26
The 2026 midterm exit polls just dropped, and the numbers on faith and voting are impossible to ignore. White born-again evangelicals still went 82% for Republicans — exactly the same as 2024 — but their share of the total electorate fell from 23% to 17%. That is not a rounding error. That is a smaller base doing the same heavy lifting while the rest of the religious map shifted. Protestants slipped from 63% Republican to 59%. Catholics, who gave Trump 59% in 2024, split almost evenly this time (49% Republican, 50% Democrat). Religious “nones” grew from 24% to 27% of voters and backed Democrats at 78%. The only group that moved right was Jewish voters, up to 31% Republican. Every other religious category either held or drifted left. Those are the actual exit-poll results, not a narrative. This matters for anyone who still thinks cultural issues, family, and faith are the foundation of the country. When the share of voters who identify as Christian shrinks and the nonreligious share grows, the policy fights on life, education, religious liberty, and speech do not stay the same. The Republican coalition can no longer assume the same turnout from its most reliable voters. Democrats just watched the secular share of the electorate expand again. Those are the stakes sitting inside these midterm exit polls.
