Overrated
-The age-gap.  For one, Trump cut significantly into it in 2016, and the Senate races had even smaller ones (or none).  Secondly, while there are more conservative and more liberal age cohorts, all do get somewhat more Republican as they age.

Underrated
-The absolute Democratic collapse with Christians (both evangelicals and Catholics), largely due to family values and abortion.  If the Republicans can extend this to religious Hispanics and blacks, the Democrats will have to become socially conservative or be irrelevant for good.

I know you probably want to believe this but no, social conservatism is dying.

Yeah, social conservatism is at its lowest point in decades.

1) This puts a damper on the idea of a resurgent religious left that some media figures are pushing in the age of Trump. Mainlines do a terrible job at catechizing and retaining their youth.

To be fair this poll is from 2014. I would be interested to see a comparison about a full year into Trump to see if there is indeed a spike as anecdotal evidence seems to suggest.
