Among supporters of Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, there continue to be wide gaps on cultural issues, the role of government and America’s place in the world.
The only surprising data point I’m seeing is that 55% of self-described Trump supporters agree that “[r]eligion should be kept separate from government policies” – and yet the GOP is running on a platform of establishing a nondemocratic theocracy.

Are we sure they don’t mean “other people’s religions” when they agree?
How many of them are the “It’s not a religion, it’s a personal relationship with Jesus,” types?
100% a lot of this, though a lot of them just don’t even understand the religious origin of many of their beliefs, as well.
