Yeah, basically this.
I mean, is the OP aware that New Age people don't believe in the "second coming"? That's a Christian thing.
I sorta disagree on the socioeconomic part. You have your "must own every overpriced crystal in the universe, and hey, did you hear coconut oil can cure your diabetes?" New Ager's, but then you also have the "I do lots of yoga and backpack around" New Ager's. The latter are mostly young, and not very welll-to-do. Then you have pagans, who often get lumped into the same group but aren't the same thing, and they're all over the map. But like basically everyone who isn't Christian, they vote majority Democrat because that's the only party that even theoretically includes them, plus all that other stuff. I mean, the Republicans are basically the Christianity party.
The deciding factor, I think, was that that all those groups are mostly strong environmentalists, anti-war, and socially liberal. No duh they don't vote for Republicans. I doubt it made too much of a difference that it was Obama in particular who was running. That social/religious ilk is basically a shoe-in for Democrats.
