3. How do they define Catholic?

Traditional, non-Traditional, baptized but not practicing? I'm just wondering how they conducted this poll. "Are you Catholic? Who did you vote for?" Anymore, if I hear someone is Catholic, a lot of questions arise in my mind.

4. My Catholic parents will vote for Hillary.

In Virginia. When I say "Catholic," I'm talking Roman Catholic to the marrow of their bones.

Southwest Virginia, for those who are tracking demographics.

The states mentioned, it seems much of it is the immigrant vote.
