Some of the worst people in the country. I was raised evangelical, even the folks I know who were decent on an interpersonal level would never consider voting for anyone other than Republicans.

Everyone seems to be making a conclusion that is not supported by these data. The data show that the people who identify as evangelical in 2026 vote further right than the people who identified as evangelical in 2024.
That does not mean that the cohort of people who identified as evangelical in 2024 had a rightward shift. It’s possible, and maybe even probable, but you can’t say that based on these data.
A conclusion I find more likely is that increasing numbers of people, whether through sincere religious belief or growing disbelief, no longer consider themselves “evangelical”. Those are the types of people who are more likely to be disapproving of trumpism, so essentially it’s just that the people who still consider themselves evangelical who continue to vote his agenda.
