Midterm election data show evangelical voters being outnumbered by those with no religious affiliation by 10 points.

The Fox News Voter Poll was conducted from October 19 to November 3, 2026 by the research firm SSRS. It includes data from all 50 states and combines data collected from online surveys, telephone calls, and in-person interviews with Election Day voters.

The poll found that 17 percent of voters identified as evangelical, while 27 percent said they had no religious affiliation. Protestants were number one at 40 percent, followed by Catholics at 20 percent. Three percent were Jewish, and 10 percent were classified as "other."

Most Protestants (60 percent) and evangelicals (82 percent) voted Republican, while all other groups favored Democrats. Of the 27 percent who said they had no religious affiliation, 78 percent voted for Democrats.

The top issues for voters were the economy (39 percent) and the state of democracy (33 percent). The cost of living was considered a crucial issue by 89 percent of voters.

The demographic breakdown of voters painted a fairly bleak picture for Republicans, with Democrats winning every age group except for voters over 60. And even that group was almost evenly split 50-49.

Voters also expressed displeasure with President Trump's priorities and policies. Only 36 percent said Trump had the right priorities and 62 percent said he favored himself over the country. Voters also blamed Trump for higher prices, with 63 percent blaming his policies. Only 37 percent of voters thought going to war with Iran was the right decision.

Democrats won an estimated 259 seats in the House for an 83-seat majority. In the Senate, Democrats are projected to win 54 seats, and they are currently leading in Alaska and Mississippi.

Silver Bulletin's Nate Silver said the election results were a complete repudiation of President Trump, saying that it was effectively the end of the Trump era. "How the f*** do Republicans extradite themselves from this by 2028 when the next election cycle is already starting?" Silver said.
