There is no way Obama won the English-American vote.  Maybe in New England, but in the Mormon states as well as Deep South they would have gone strongly for Romney.  I would also be interested in what the Dutch-American vote was.  I am guessing it was 60-65% for Romney.

Also for Italian and Polish-Americans, I have a tough time believing Romney did better amongst them than German-Americans.  He may have won them but considering most are in the Great Lakes and Northeast where the white vote was fairly evenly split, I suspect it was a lot closer.  For Scandinavian-Americans, I wonder what the breakdown by group was as I suspect the Danish-Americans probably went most heavily for Romney, followed by the Swedish-Americans, while the Norwegian and Finnish-Americans if those numbers are correct probably narrowly favoured Obama.

Most Russian-Americans are Jewish so pretty sure Obama won them and Ukrainian-Americans did not go 2/3 for Romney while Greek-Americans are mostly in large urban centres like Chicago, Boston, New York, and Philadelphia so pretty sure Obama won them too.  Portuguese-Americans probably also favoured Obama as well.  For Scots-Irish, I suspect that group went over 2/3 for Romney.

As for Cuban-Americans, it was 50-47% in Florida so I think Romney won this group albeit a strong age gap as it looks like Obama solidly won the younger Cuban vote, but the older Cuban vote went heavily for Romney. 

As for Native Americans it was probably at least 80% for Obama maybe 90%.  If you look at the reserve vote, it was usually over 90% Obama.  True some like the Cherokees and Navajo don't vote quite as massively as a block, although I still suspect Obama got over 70% from them.  If you include those of mixed Native blood, you may be right as many in the Appalachians and South have a small amount of Native blood and off course they went heavily for Romney.

I doubt it, although his daughter Barbara Bush might have as her viewpoints on a whole wack of issues seem rather liberal.

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).

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.
