Exit Poll Data on Catholic Voters

According to Amy Sullivan:

Yesterday, the God Gap all but disappeared. Americans who attend religious services on a weekly basis voted 51 percent for Republican candidates and 48 percent for Democrats, a statistically meaningless difference. Nationally, Democrats made modest gains among two important groups of religious voters--they matched Bush's 2004 advantage with Catholics (52-47) and improved upon Kerry's 21-point deficit among evangelicals. (The exact percentage of the evangelical vote isn't known because, for some inexplicable reason, not every state's exit poll appears to have included a question to identify such voters.)

UPDATE:  Actually, CNN's exit poll data shows Democrats doing even better among Catholics (55-44).
