“even among evangelicals Latinos, more voted for Obama than for Romney”

And around 75% of Latino Catholics voted Obama, Again, what do think you are proving from Poland? Certainly not that Catholics here are as conservative overall as evangelicals. Once again your defense is an argument against Rome.


Among Latino registered voters, support for President Barack Obama is higher among Catholics and those with no religious affiliation than among evangelical Protestants, according to a Pew Research Center survey.Obama has the support of 73 percent of Latino Catholics and 82 percent of Latinos with no religious affiliation, but only half (50 percent) of Latino evangelicals. Obama’s main rival in the presidential race, Republican Mitt Romney, has the support of 39 percent of Latino evangelicals, but only 19 percent of Latino Catholics and seven percent of Latinos with no religious affiliation.

Among all Latino registered voters, Obama has a 48 percentage point advantage over Romney, 69 to 21 percent, according to the survey.Obama has a 15 percentage point advantage among all Catholic registered voters, 54 to 39 percent. The survey indicates that this advantage is driven by Latino Catholics. Among white non-Latino Catholics, Obama only has a one percentage point advantage, 47 to 46 percent. - http://www.christianpost.com/news/latino-voters-obama-support-stronger-among-catholics-unaffiliated-than-evangelicals-83540/

that puts as a lie your post's statements hitting Catholics alone.

It seems that hispanics as a group voted more for Obama -- even Evangelical hispanics -- more voted for Obama than Romney

And, as I asked above, where is your explanation for 20% of white evangelicals who voted for Obama?

Evangelicals as a % of the population are more than Catholics -- and if you bunch with Protestants, then a larger number of white evangelicals and other protestants voted for Obama than white Catholics

Do you have any reason you can give for this or is the focus on the 25% of the electorate that are Catholics, just damage control on your side?
