Depends how you look at it. 85% of the 100,000 US citizens living in Israel voted for Romney in 2012. The orthodox vote in America was also not in the Obama camp.
Jewish voters are defined in many ways. Observant Jews were conservative. Cutural jews are about as dependable as non mass attending catholics who also broke hard for Obama.

The fact is, being a jew is much less of a predictor of voting than simply where you are from. New Yorkers and Californites are far more likely to vote solid dem. And that is where most of Americas jewish communities are found. Both observant and non.

I haven’t broken it down to such a level. I’m going by published stats and my personal interactions with Jews here in Ohio. I know Jews, and I like them. But, of the Jews I know, I don’t know any conservative Jews. Totally anecdotal, and hardly an accurate barometer, but it does affect my perception.
