Andrew Gelman has a good post on the demographics of support for school vouchers:
The primary driver here seems to be religion. White evangelicals and Catholics (both Latino and white) want the government to pay for them to go to religious schools. South blacks are dubious about vouchers because they see them as a backdoor resegregation policy but elsewhere poor blacks like them. Mainline Protestants and non-evangelicals are happy attending non-religious schools and don’t seem interested.
