Evangelicals are sorely divided this year--for the first time since the question started being asked, less than 50% of evangelicals identify as Republican. Younger evangelicals, while MORE committed than the older generation to a pro-life agenda, are also taking more traditionally liberal (though, I would say, more Christian) views on social justice and world poverty. My expectation is that the evangelical vote will at least be very diluted, compared to the last few decades.
