Not sure if there's enough data available to analyze this, but has anyone looked into the question of how much the gap between white, Hispanic, and Asian votes in this election (or any recent election) is a consequence of differences between those groups on other demographic parameters, like age and income?

For example, Hispanics are disproportionately younger and poorer, relative to whites.  If you reweighted the Hispanic voting results so that they matched whites in terms of age and income, what would the new Obama/Romney split be?
