| Summary: | Religion was a source of support for Robertson, but also served to limit his appeal. Although pentecostal and charismatic Christians responded positively to his campaign, fundamentalists and other evangelicals were less supportive. He was generally unsuccessful in broadening his appeal within the evangelical community or in attracting more secular conservatives. Among whites, evaluations of Jackson were partially explained by religious doctrine and denomination, with those who attended evangelical churches but who did not hold evangelical doctrinal beliefs less supportive, and those who attended mainline Protestant churches but who held evangelical doctrinal beliefs more so. |
