  "White Evangelicals were an identical 26 percent of the electorate in 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2018" [1] even though they're only 15% of the population [2]. That number is dropping sharply as younger generations are less likely to be part of an Evangelical church. Millennials and Gen Z are the biggest voting bloc at 27% of the population, but only represent 20% of the votes cast [3].
