Most Christians say they would never vote for a Democrat, poll finds

June 26, 2025

A new poll suggests that most Christians in the U.S. have little faith in the Democratic Party and would never cast their vote for a Democrat.

The Christian Post reports that the poll of 1,761 Christian voters was conducted May 6-11 by Change Research and documents the views of those voters on a wide variety of issues.

The full results of the poll, shared with Time magazine, show that 75% of Christian voters surveyed, say they have little to no trust in the Democratic Party with 62% saying they would never vote for a Democrat.

Another 58% of respondents said that the Democratic Party was hostile to Christians and 54% said that Democratic voters were hostile to Christianity.

Those responses are a sharp contrast to the roughly half of Christian voters who said they have little to no trust in the Republican Party.

Seventy percent of the Christian voters surveyed said that they consider the Republican Party friendly to Christianity with 72% of respondents saying the same about Republican voters.

According to the Christian Post, Vote Common Good Founder Doug Pagitt, the founding pastor of Solomon’s Porch in South Minneapolis, said “The Democratic Party cannot be the majority party in America if they ignore the majority religion in America. For too long, Democratic candidates have taken Christian voters for granted and have not made deep connections.”

While the data appears to paint a troubling picture for Democrats, Pagitt believes the party still has a path to win over voters.

Pagitt said, “What this polling shows us is that there are plenty of Christian voters who are open to supporting Democrats, but that candidates need to do the work to build relationships and establish trust with these communities,” adding, “The message that Democratic candidates must deliver to Christian voters, both with actions and words, is, ‘I like you, we need you.'”
