Don't Portuguese-Americans continue to have a significant presence within Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts Democratic Party machine politics? I would assume that this, combined with the related facts of Portuguese-Americans (like other "hyphenated American" white ethnic groups in the Northeast) being heavily involved in the New Deal coalition and still being disproportionately working class - and furthermore, continuing to have a strong working class ethnic culture, which would influence the political behavior of even the more recent and less working class generations of Portuguese-Americans - would make them still heavily Democratic compared to other white ethnic groups.

FWIW, according to Wikipedia, the top 3 states with the largest percentage of Portuguese-Americans are Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Hawaii - all of which are strongly Democratic states.
