Health care and the economy ranked as the two most important issues facing the United States, ahead of abortion and protecting religious freedom, in a new national survey of evangelicals that has some conservative political and religious leaders worried.
The survey, “Courage, Civility, and Our Democracy,” of 1,317 individuals who either self-identified as evangelicals or expressed views understood as characteristic of evangelicals was conducted a week after the 2018 election by Lifeway Research (LR), on behalf of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Life Commission (ERLC). The survey results were released in September.
