The survey data show, however, that there is a sharp divide between Hispanics who identify their religion as Catholic and those who identify as Protestant. Hispanic Catholics overwhelmingly support Democrats over Republicans in the upcoming elections (69% vs. 19%), but Hispanic Protestants are closely divided in their vote choice (45% say they will support Democrats and 41% say Republicans). Hispanic Protestants make up about one-fifth of Hispanic registered voters (22% in the new survey), while roughly two-thirds of Hispanic registered voters are Catholic (64%).
