Today in The Washington Post Alan Cooperman writes that Evangelical Christian support for the GOP has fallen by 21 percentage points. According to a Pew Research Center Poll 57% of white evangelicals plan to vote Republican this year compared to 78% in 2004.

Politically, this is terrible for Republicans. I’m not sure what it means for the Dems or what it says about those (on both the right and left) who claim their politics are god’s politics.

Hopefully, what this does mean is that the politics of fear and division is on the decline. That churches and persons of faith have been the vehicle for this tactic is outrageous.
