Your statement took the response to one question and applied it to a very different one. I completely disapprove of the allegations of Trump's behavior with porn stars and playboy models. However, if I answered a survey about his job performance as president I would not put my disapproval of his personal behavior prior to being president as being relevant.

Accusation of slander is well founded.
You seem to be taking the article personally when it isn't saying anything about you. It's a statistical finding. Just read the article and you'll see. They found that the more someone believed the United States is a Christian nation, the more likely they were to vote for Trump. "Americans who agreed with the various measures of Christian nationalism were much more likely to vote for Trump, even after controlling for other influences, such as political ideology, political party and other cultural factors proposed as possible explanations."
