Faith and Ballot: The Role of Religious Devotion in Trump's 2024 Pennsylvania Victory

Kate Cwenar

This study examines the influence of religious devotion on Donald Trump voter turnout in the 2024 presidential election, particularly among Evangelical Protestants and Catholics in Pennsylvania. As a crucial swing state, Pennsylvania voted for Trump's victory over Kamala Harris. Election Day exit polling gathered anonymous survey responses regarding voter preference, religious affiliation, and frequency of worship. Stronger religious affiliation, especially in Evangelical Protestant congregations, was associated with greater support for Trump.
