The "Religious Right" (or its Puritan ancestors) has always been a pain in the a*s and an asset at the same time.  They're simply declining each year as a share of the population.

The myth is that they haven't literally ALWAYS (yes, I mean always) been a significant voice in the GOP.

Romney won college graduates and won White post-graduates, too.

I find that hard to believe, but I'd be interested in seeing the exit polls that show such. They'd be more interesting to look over than the same 4 categories you see everywhere else.

I'm having trouble finding ANY 2012 exit polls that aren't just simple tables (i.e., I can't find any of the ones that ask things like "Most Important Issue," "When you decided whom to vote for," etc.), but in 2014, Republicans won 57% of White College graduates and only 28% of non-White college graduates.

Also interesting to note that Republicans won 54% of Whites aged 18-29 but only won 42% of Whites aged 30-44.  (Before you say this section looks unbelievable, I believe they mixed up the percentages for Black and Latino.)
