White Evangelical Republican Attitudes Toward Political Enemies, Compromise, and Democratic Norms

Using data from ANES and the Pew Research Center, I examine white evangelicals’ attitudes toward perceived out groups and political compromise. I compare their attitudes to the national average to see if evangelicals are consistently unique. I also compare white evangelical Republicans’ attitudes to those of non-evangelical Republicans to see if evangelicals stand out among Republicans as well. White evangelical Republicans feel more negatively toward outgroups and are less supportive of compromise than non-evangelical Republicans and the national average.
