I was curious about the Greek vote and I have been searching for a poll, and I finally found one:

Serbs and Croats yes, while Lithuanians as well as Polish were probably pretty close to 50/50 as many live in smaller centres or suburbs.

The urban white working-class is still strongly Democratic. For this reason, I'd assume that Obama also won Serbs, Croats, Lithuanians, and Poles (the latter being much closer than the former 3).

French-Americans 52-47 for Obama*

Swiss-Americans - 52-47 for Romney
Czech-Americans 53-46 for Romney

*Cajuns went over 80% for Romney, while French-Canadians mostly in New England states probably were in the upper 50s for Obama.

I'm surprised that the Iranian/Arab vote is under 80% for Obama.

These are just estimates but you may be right.  Interestingly enough Arabs, Iranians, Turkish, and Armenians are considered white in the US, but in Canada they are visible minorities.  However it seems those of Middle Eastern and North African ancestry vote more in line with the non-white than white population.  Mind you the Jewish vote in many ways is also more in line with non-white than white even though it did swing heavily towards Romney rather than away like others did.  I should note many Iranians in the US are Bahai', Jewish, or Christian as opposed to Muslim so I suspect Romney got a sizeable minority of them while amongst Muslims yeah it was probably over 80% Obama.  Despite the fact Muslims tend to be quite socially conservative, I've noticed not just in the US, but pretty much every Western Country, they tend to vote overwhelmingly for parties on the left.  My guess is they are very sensitive to Islamophobia as well as foreign policy and parties on the right tend to have a lot more people who don't like Muslims or see the religion as one that is not comptable with Western culture.

Mormon: 72/27 Romney
Christian Orthodox: 68/31 Romney
Protestant: 57/42 Romney
Catholic: 53/46 Obama
Jewish: 66/33 Obama
Buddhist: 79/20 Obama
Hindu: 81/18 Obama
Muslim: 86/13 Obama
Atheist: 87/12 Obama


English Americans: 51/48 Obama
Scottish Americans: 50/49 Obama
Scandinavian Americans:50/49 Romney
Irish Americans: 51/48 Romney
German Americans: 55/44 Romney
Italian Americans: 56/43 Romney
Polish Americans: 59/41 Romney
ALL White Americans: 59/41 Romney
Russian Americans: 66/33 Romney
Ukrainian Americans: 69/30 Romney
Greek Americans: 71/28 Romney

Pakistani Americans: 89/10 Obama
Indian Americans: 80/19 Obama
Chinese Americans: 79/20 Obama
Korean Americans: 74/25 Obama
ALL Asian Americans: 73/26 Obama
Filipino Americans: 54/45 Obama
Vietnamese Americans: 57/42 Romney

Mexican Americans: 79/20 Obama
ALL Hispanic Americans: 72/26
Cuban Americans: 57/42 Obama

African Americans:96/4 Obama

Native Americans: 62/36 Obama



Where are these figures from?  Given that white Protestants vote Republican at a higher rate than white Catholics I don't see how Italian Americans voted Republican at a higher rate than Americans of English ancestry.
