| Résumé: | Although a good deal of research has examined white support for the Moral Majority, little work has been done on white support for the Presidential campaign of Pat Robertson. No work to date has explored the sources of support among black Americans for the Christian Right. Using data from a survey of Washington, D.C., blacks, this study finds fairly substantial levels of support for the Moral Majority and for Pat Robertson. Although support for the Moral Majority is associated with conservative views on political issues, support for Robertson is primarily predicted by religious variables. Moreover, many of Robertson's supporters have no knowledge of his political positions. Nevertheless, this study suggests that there is a potential constituency for the Christian Right among religiously conservative blacks. |
