Yep indeed. Since no one has supplied the answer, I'll post the question explicitly. Has anyone seen cross tabs on the Catholic vote?

This isn't just a question of liberal vs. conservative Catholics. It's also a question of observant vs. lapsed Catholics and cross cutting demographics. For starters, we know that Romney got a substantial majority of regular churchgoers, so I would wager that he got a majority of the Catholics who are actually in the pews. Obama got a topheavy majority of those who rarely or never attend church, so the CINOs presumably went dem, along with a lot of the C&E Christians and liberal Jews whose real god is leftism.

It would be interesting to see how the Catholic vote split by age. Older Catholics, like older voters in all demographics, probably pulled the lever out of habit. Middle aged, churchgoing Catholics are the ones who have moved right in recent elections. The young people are the future; how did the next generation of Catholics split? As for the hispanics, I would wager again that Romney got a solid majority of the non-hispanic Catholic vote.

So has anyone seen the numbers?
