Here is Jimmy Carter’s Jewish vote before and after Camp David.
Even though the Jewish vote for Obama is way down vs other Democrat presidential candidates, the Jews could be setting themselves up for a repeat of their 1976 vote for Jimmy Carter when he garnered 71% of the vote.
1976
Ford (R) 27
Carter (D) 71
McCarthy (I) 2
1980
Reagan (R) 39
Carter (D) 45
Anderson (I) 14
