Maybe these hypocrites need to read the words of JP2.

“It is sometimes reported that a large number of Catholics today do not adhere to the teaching of the Catholic Church on a number of questions, notably sexual and conjugal morality, divorce and remarriage. Some are reported as not accepting the clear position on abortion. It has to be noted that there is a tendency on the part of some Catholics to be selective in their adherence to the Church’s moral teaching. It is sometimes claimed that dissent from the Magisterium is totally compatible with being a “good Catholic,” and poses no obstacle to the reception of the Sacraments. This is a grave error that challenges the teaching of the Bishops in the United States and elsewhere.”

~ Pope John Paul II speaking to US Bishops in Los Angeles
1987

Interest in who is pure enough among Catholics to be polled for voting data is your personal thing, but it isn’t applicable to collecting the percentages of how members of the Catholic denomination vote.
