A recent poll revealed that a majority of Americans have lost faith in televangelists and think that money given to those preachers didn’t wind up going to good causes. Fifty-one percent of the 1,348 persons polled by the Associated Press said they thought televangelists were basically concerned with their own welfare, and 53% said they didn’t believe money collected by television evangelists generally went to good causes. Only 27% believed the money was used for good purposes, and 20% were unsure.
