From PRRI:
White evangelical voters strongly support Romney over Obama (68% vs. 19%).
Catholic voters overall say that they would be more likely to vote for Obama than Romney (46% to 39%), although white Catholic voters favor Romney over Obama by a significant margin (48% to 37%).
Obama has an advantage over Romney among white mainline Protestant voters (50% vs. 37%) and religiously unaffiliated voters (57% vs. 22%).

OP
For what? Determing electoral votes perhaps - but not measuring and segmenting support.

why did you even bother posting this today: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002688097
?
BTW, the CBS/NYT poll you posted is scientifically flawed. They called back the same people they polled before and they didn't get nearly the same number of responses.

white evangelicals? Romney
white Catholics? Romney
Catholics as a whole (ie, mostly hispanics)? Obama

(34,518 posts)9. the data don't support your assertion
Notice also that white mainline Protestants support Obama by a big margin.
Race plays a role, gender plays a role, religion plays a role -- lots of other factors too.
