Among America’s four largest faith groups, Jews are most likely to approve of the job that Barack Obama is doing as president, according to the results of a new Gallup poll analysis.
For the month of September, 64 percent of U.S. Jews tracked by Gallup Daily expressed their approval of Obama – 10 points higher than the next highest group, Catholics. Only 47 percent of Protestant Christians, meanwhile, said they approved of the job that Obama is doing and 32 percent of Mormons said the same.
Among atheists, agnostics, and those without a religion, 65 percent gave their approval.
“President Obama enjoys staunch support from U.S. Jews – much higher than what he earns from Catholics and Protestants, particularly with regard to non-Hispanic whites,” reported the Gallup organization while noting that support for Obama among U.S. Jews has trended downward since January as the national average has.
“American Jews' solid backing of Obama stands in contrast to Jewish opinion in Israel, where many are still taking stock of the new American president and trying to determine his long-term policy intentions for the Mideast,” it added.
Gallup further noted that a recent poll of Jews in Israel, sponsored by the Jerusalem Post, found only 4 percent believing Obama's policies are "pro-Israel" and 35 percent calling them evenly balanced, while 51 percent said they are "pro-Palestinian."
By contrast, a previous survey found 88 percent of Israelis believing George W. Bush's policies were "pro-Israel."
“For Israeli Jews, Obama's position toward their country is clearly of central importance to how they view Obama,” the Gallup organization stated.
Though Muslims were not included in its latest analysis, as it covered only those religious groups constituting at least one percent of the U.S. population, Gallup did suggest that U.S. Muslim support for Obama would likely be quite high as an earlier poll revealed it to be higher than even that of Jews.
In May, when U.S. Jewish support for Obama was at 79 percent, U.S. Muslim support was at 85 percent.
According to Gallup’s latest analysis, only 52 percent of Americans in general approve of the job Obama is doing as president, down one point from the month before and five points the month before that. In January, that figure stood at 66 percent.
fools
So how was it Jewish guys got a reputation for being smart?
Stuck on stupid.
Who told you that?
They’ll wake up like they did in 1935 Germany.
We are discussing “reputation” not “the facts on the ground”. There appears to be a massive discontinuity here!
Jews voted stupidly
“So how was it Jewish guys got a reputation for being smart?”
Wondering that myself..
What are they going to do when Obama offers them free showers?
they got all the best jobs. Or at least that’s the impression.
Oh, ya THINK???
One need only read the history of the Holocaust and the how the jews would grovel, beg and connive to be the highest on the totem pole above their fellow jew. disgusting.
I thought Jewish people were smart.
U.S. Jews will be the ones assigned to watch over the digging of the mass graves.
“They’ll wake up like they did in 1935 Germany.”
And they’ll hope that just as in the 1940’s, a large number of those conservative Christians (same ones they criticize and undermine so much) come to their aid and bail them out.
Some Jews still believe that appeasement will work.
I see quite a number of threads attacking the Mormon religion so it’s good to see the Mormons are the ones who least support the punk president. Shamefully, my own religion is second only to U.S. Jews.
Can't trust them Germans anymore can we.

Despite the tense rift between Republican and Democratic Jews over the course of the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign, exit polls on Tuesday showed that Barack Obama received about 77 percent of the Jewish vote.
Im a big fan and supporter of Israel but Americans Jews for the most part are schmucks. Sorry Mason & Levin, I sure as hell dont mean you guys.
Hey, this may be the good news that Obama’s been waiting for.
The alliance “U.S. Jewish support for Obama was at 79 percent, U.S. Muslim support was at 85 percent” has historic precedents. It didn’t work out so well in Spain circa 1492. Earlier on it did.
“When will they ever learn”?
“When will they evvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv er learn”?
I think they think ‘patriotism’ leads to ‘nationalism’. JMO. A country can still be patriotic and diverse.
That the numbers are anywhere near as high as they are from ANY group is discouraging and a sign of how low this nation has sunk. After all the garbage B0 has pulled he still is over 50% approval so either the “news” media are doing their job propping him up or people are so stupid then it makes me fear for the future even more.
That’s better than being in the mass graves.
Majority of Jews still dont get it and never will.The smart ones do get it though.
Its not their Jewishness,its their liberalism that will be their undoing.
A cruel irony that the two cultures that hate each other over centuries more than the Hatfields and the McCoys, both support the socialist party here in America in overwhelming numbers, AKA democrats.
I’m seeing a lot of hateful post on this thread so I’ll move on.
As a Jew I voted McCain and I know many many who voted for BO and they all learned their lesson. Never Again
You seem to forget....they were given a choice of saving Jesus and saving Barabbas. How smart were they back then?
Considering the fact that 78 % voted for Obama, this is a bit of a retrenchment.
I’m in full agreement with you. I fear for the future of our republic. Just look at the people in the House and Senate and the gerrymandered districts that insure lifetime reelections, especially in black districts. Conservative blacks don’t have a chance, so the people will forever suffer.
Government schools further insure the dumbing down of America.
How many times do a people have to willingly walk off a cliff?
“Some Jews still believe that appeasement will work.”
No they don’t. Jews simply have a much stronger position among the American left than they do among the American right, so they continue to embrace the leftist power structure they control and use to their benefit. They are Jews first, Americans 2nd (or 3rd or 4th). They would rather be on the wrong side but in charge, than on the side of right but in a subordinate role. Collectively, they have been a negative influence on this country overall.
We are talking about atheist Marxists who happen to be Jews, or claim it. Of course they approve of our NeoCom Bolsheviks and 0. The Jews in my household don’t concur.
Stupidity is not particular to any religion.
Soros certainly made his way to the top on the bodies of fellow Jews that he sent to the gas chambers for his Nazi masters.

I understand.The catholics are just as ill informed.
However, no one knew he was Jewish ~ and he, himself, may not have known.
Still, the Nazis did elicit the true man didn't they?
So, do you support our system of laws, or maybe something else?
ping
Yeah, almost breaks my heart that Catholics can support a monster like Zero. Amazing how dumb people are.
American Jews? Is there something in the water they drink that makes them so stupid as to support a socialist-fascist-commie pig usurper 0bozo, who is a Muzlim thru & thru, and would love nothing better than to see Israel destroyed and a final solution for the Jews in this country. What makes the Jews so stupid & gullible so as to support 0bozo or any of the demoRATs for that matter???
I don’t know where they are asking these questions..probably in NY and LA....I’m Jewish and most of my family and friends hate Obama and voted for McCain. All I can tell you is that things are changing..the old Jews are dying off and the younger ones ARE smart...Jews and politics...it’s very complicated.
