Interesting to see, but how significant is this?

Or to say another way, does the faith of Catholic voters move them towards voting a certain way? It would appear not based on the splits we see here.

It's very significant. The Roman Catholic vote is roughly 20-25% of the electorate.

Yes, for REAL Catholics. Like the ones you will find on FR.

Speaking as a Conserative who is Traditionalist Catholic
(ie real Catholic) I can tell you that 100% of real Catholics
would never, ever vote for a Democrat. But the majority of
Catholics are cultural, and a majority of those would vote Liberal.

Where a Catholic lives is probably more indicative of how they vote as opposed to being Catholic. I recall one presidential year that the votes of Catholics in Louisiana and New Mexico were the splits were exactly reversed, 70-30 or so with New Mexico Catholics voting for the dem and Louisiana Catholics voting pub.
