thanks, but don't you think percentages or ratios really don't reflect how many votes cast in raw numbers?

If 100 people attended mass and 57% voted for Bush then you can say 57 people voted for Bush

and if 200 people who don't attend mass at 41% would reflect 80 votes for Bush.

then one can say that those who don't attend mass regularly cast more votes for Bush than those who attended mass.

Percentages don't mean a whole lot since one doesn't have the raw numbers of total registered Catholics who do and do not attend mass.
