Is there any data out there that breaks these numbers down by income. I am curious to see how much economic situation impacts this. If it is skewed heavily to the lower income brackets, we know it is about government handouts. If it is consistent at all incomes, we likely can come to a different conclusion.
Sorry, this is the best I could find. After the election, I ran across a great interactive exit poll (that for the life of me I cannot find) that broke down voting by income into further brackets, and the trend was basically the same.
The dividing line is religion.
Hispanics who are protestant Christians resemble historical protestant (relatively) voting by being receptive to republicans (44% Bush in 2000, 56% Bush in 2004, and 48% McCain in 2008).
Catholic Hispanics follow historical catholic voting of loyalty to the democrat party.
