Only 18 percent of evangelicals said they were satisfied with the president’s job performance.

Among all born-again Christians, 35 percent are satisfied with the job the president is doing, according to a survey conducted by The Barna Group. Back in the 2008 election, 42 percent of all born-again adults voted for then Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

“The study suggests that many Americans may be losing their patience with President Obama,” the Barna survey noted. “[I]t appears that many committed Christians who were supportive of Mr. Obama during the election campaign are substantially less supportive of him today.”

A born-again Christian is defined in the study as people who said they had made a personal commitment to Jesus Christ that is still important in their life today and who also indicated belief that when they die they will go to heaven because they had confessed their sins and accepted Jesus as their savior.

Not all born-again Christians are evangelicals by Barna’s standards. Evangelicals meet all the born again criteria plus seven additional conditions.

Among evangelicals, Obama’s job approval was even lower. Only 18 percent of evangelicals said they were satisfied with the president’s job performance.

But Obama’s job approval was significantly higher among the general American public, with 42 percent saying they are satisfied.
