Gallup asks people, every year, "Would you describe yourself as a "born again" or an Evangelical Christian?" And every year, they get somewhere around 40%. That is a slightly larger category than strictly Evangelicals, but illustrates the kind of self-identification I'm talking about. Maybe there's some wacky push-polling trick to that question, but it seems pretty clear to me.
