A Pew Research Center report found that Catholics’ support for President Donald Trump’s agenda has not changed significantly over the past year.
The analysis examined how U.S. religious groups view Trump, including his plans and policies and his ethics. It focused on Protestants, Catholics, and religiously unaffiliated adults.
The report, “White Evangelicals Remain Among Trump’s Strongest Supporters, but They’re Less Supportive Than a Year Ago,” includes information from a survey of 8,512 U.S. adults who are part of the center’s American Trends Panel (ATP).
The survey was conducted Jan. 20–26 and has an overall margin of error of plus or minus 1.4 percentage points.
The report found only a slight change from February 2025 to January 2026 in the number of Catholic participants who said they support all or most of Trump’s plans and policies.
The new Pew results are consistent with a recent EWTN poll which confirmed that U.S. bishops’ relentless attacks on President Trump have had little impact upon his approval rating with lay Catholics.
