    Yeah, and for the benefit of the many people who didn’t read the article, it says this further down:

    overall, 4 percent believed God chose Trump because He believes in his policies, while another 32 percent think Trump’s election is part of God’s plan, although God may not necessarily agree with his program.

    To put it into perspective, anything less than 5% on the extreme end of a survey is generally treated as the “nonsense response” or “straight-line response” effect, i.e. you can put the most ridiculous thing imaginable on a survey and reliably get 5% positive responses on it. 4% means that the notion was too spicy even for a lot of the usual loonies.
