Thought some of you might find it as interesting as I do to look at the voter demographics after the election. I think they provide much insight for future elections, as well as the cultural divide we see in: the country, in politics, and on this forum.
"Exit polls in Tuesday's presidential election underscored, once again, that America remains sharply divided along religious and cultural lines.
Jews, Muslims, gays, Catholic Hispanics and Protestant blacks overwhelmingly voted for President Barack Obama.
Evangelicals strongly supported Mitt Romney.
Among regular church-goers, Romney won 59 to 39 percent. Among voters who never attend church, Obama won 62 to 34 percent, according to the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.
Those who call themselves religiously unaffiliated voted for Obama 70 percent to 26 percent."
"Among people who self-identify as born again or evangelical, Romney won 79 percent of the vote, to Obama's 20 percent."
"Nonevangelical Protestants preferred Romney 54 to 44 percent, and white Catholics voted for Romney 59 to 40 percent, but Hispanic Catholics voted for Obama 75 to 21 percent.
The Jewish vote went to Obama 69 to 30 percent."
