That 45% stat is not limited to evangelical republicans. The main point under discussion here is whether millions of Americans believe God helped Trump win; the following statement indicates that's true.
In comparison, more than one-quarter (28%) of Americans believe God played a major role in determining the outcome of the 2016 election.
It's going to be interesting to watch and see who God picked to win the Super Bowl this evening.
One-quarter (25%) of Americans believe God plays a role in determining the outcome of sporting events.
...Nearly half (49%) of the public believes God rewards athletes who have faith with good health and success...

Wait, 18% of Democrats believe God intervened to help Trump win? Have they not heard of Satan? Or did 18% of Dems prefer Trump to Clinton? I'm all confused.
Yes between Jill Stein supporters, Bernie Sanders hold outs, and Dems who refused to vote, perhaps 18% do believe God answered their prayers? :x

Jeffrey Toobin says Howard Schultz is a gift from God to Trump. If Schultz doesn't implode quickly, steel yourself.......for 8 years of Trump.

Mebbe these are the folks who thought that if things got bad enough, the Dems would look better. Sort of worked in 2018. Sort of not.
