Most Americans Say They Want a President Who Lives a Moral & Ethical Life | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Ahead of the 2024 presidential election, almost all Americans say it's at least somewhat important for the president to personally live a moral and ethical life. According to new data from the Pew Research Center, 94% of all Americans hold that stance. 64% of US adults say it is at least somewhat important the president stands up for people with their religious beliefs. And close to half say it's at least somewhat important that the president has strong religious beliefs. Associate Professor of Political Science at Eastern Illinois University and creator of the Substack Graphs About Religion, Dr. Ryan Burge, joins to share what he makes of these findings by Pew, whether he was surprised by these Pew numbers and how it compares to his own research. Burge discusses how Biden and Trump compare when it comes to how Americans view their religious beliefs. He explains what Pew found when it comes to Catholic voters and how it compares to other religions. Burge tells us whether there were any differences between White Catholics and Hispanic Catholics in the breakdown. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
