- Poll asked Registered Republican voters who - amongst the Republican candidates - they considered to be a "man of faith"
- Trump came on top, beating Mike Pence, who was close behind.
More than half of Republicans see former President Donald Trump as a person of faith, a higher percentage than those who said the same of more vocally religious politicians such as former Vice President Mike Pence and Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), a recent poll found.
The survey, conducted by HarrisX for Deseret News, asked registered voters which politicians they considered to be people of faith.
Among Republicans, Trump earned the top position, with 53 percent of voters thinking he is a person of faith.

I can understand not seeing Romney as a man of faith because many Christians do not view Mormonism as a Christian faith, but how in the name of Sam Hill can they pick Trump over Pence? Pence is an evangelical Christian. He was picked by Trump to woo the conservative Christian Republican base .
I suppose you could argue that Trump at 53% and Pence at 52% is too close to put one over the other, but even if we say Trump and Pence tied it is still astounding that any Republican voter would put Trump anywhere near Pence.
My hunch is that Trump won over Pence, not because the base actually believes he is a man of faith , but picking Trump = showing their support for Trump. The MAGA base dislike Pence for not doing what Trump asked, on Jan 6th

Trump Secretly Mocks His Christian Supporters
Former aides say that in private, the president has spoken with cynicism and contempt about believers.
