Religious Groups Differ Widely in Their 2026 Midterm Preferences

White evangelical Protestant and White Catholic registered voters prefer Republican candidates over Democratic candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives. Registered voters in every other religious group we can analyze either are split roughly evenly or favor Democratic candidates in this year’s midterm elections, according to a new Pew Research Center survey.

Overall, registered voters are more likely to support Democratic candidates than Republican ones. And registered voters who support Democratic candidates are more engaged in the election and more motivated to vote than those who back Republican candidates.

For a complete analysis of the survey results, read “With Americans in a Sour Mood, Democratic Voters Are More Engaged in Midterms.”

The survey, conducted Sept. 28-Oct. 4, also finds that President Donald Trump’s approval ratings among members of every religious group we can study are among the lowest of his second term. Even religious groups who have traditionally been his strongest supporters see him less favorably than they used to.

This Pew Research Center analysis looks at midterm vote preferences and views of President Donald Trump across a variety of religious groups.
