Evangelical Democrats not only exist in this year’s presidential election, but are turning out in larger numbers than the youngest and oldest primary voters in some states, according to a new poll.

polls - the measure of 'ifs'. Polls really reflect the opinion that the pollsters want as they know where to go to get the answers they want. Truth of the matter is that if Christians really voted Christian values things just might look a little different.
Another problem is that people like Rush Limbaugh that are in the public's eye and profess Christ, and at the same time does not seem to have a clue what real Christians think. For example he and many others thought that Christians did not like Romney because he is a Mormon, when in reality it was because he has a voting record that is totally hostile toward Biblical Christian values.
The more that the news media can do to build their own peculiar analysis of Christians, the less anyone even knows what a Christian is. Instead of going to mega churches to feel the churches pulse they need to go to some ordinary churches. When Christians do talk to the media elites, they need to be willing to stop slanting it in such ways that pervert them.
I don't believe most polls. Take for instance the one mentioned on this site regarding "most Americans want a Biblical leader as President." No democrat running can be classified as a Biblical leader but were told polls show evangelicals are voting democrat????????This is just one example of conflicting information that come from polls.
I was back home in MO during the primary and spoke with a few white evangelical friend. Unsolicited, they told me they cross over to vote for Hillary only b/c they thought it would give the Republicans a better chance when the election came around in Nov. I don't deny liberal christians are moving to the Dems but its not clear to me that these studies go deep enough to really capture whats going on this year. Seems like more studies are calling it wrong than in the past.
