Jimmy Carter's Most Perplexing Legacy

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : But politically, Trump delivers the goods the GOP's evangelical base wants.
43% : Carter would provoke some Southern evangelicals, too, when his Internal Revenue Service in 1978 suggested that it might revoke the tax exemption of all-white private schools that had sprung up when public schools began integrating in the 1960s and '70s.
31% : Trump rarely darkens a church door and he often bungles attempts to speak about the Bible.
27% : Some historians argue that the threat against "segregation academies" was one of the chief concerns animating the religious right's backlash against Carter, especially for Southerners such as Jerry Falwell Sr., the founder of the Moral Majority organization.
