According to the Public Religion Research Institute, white Catholics, like most religious groups, have an overwhelmingly negative view of Russia. Most white mainline Protestants view Russia unfavorably, but in lower numbers — 57 percent. Both groups backed Trump in the 2016 election and continue to give him favorable ratings.
