PRINCETON, NJ -- Jewish voters nationwide have grown increasingly comfortable with voting for Barack Obama for president since the Illinois senator secured the Democratic nomination in June. They now favor Obama over John McCain by more than 3 to 1, 74% to 22%.
This is based on monthly averages of Gallup Poll Daily tracking results, including interviews with more than 500 Jewish registered voters each month.
Support for Obama among all registered voters was fairly stable from June through September, but then rose sharply in October -- in apparent reaction to the U.S. economic crisis. By contrast, support for Obama among Jewish voters has expanded more gradually, from the low 60% range in June and July to 66% in August, 69% in September, and 74% today.
The current proportion of U.S. Jews backing Obama is identical to the level of support the Democratic ticket of John Kerry and John Edwards received in the 2004 presidential election (74%). It is only slightly lower than what Al Gore and Joe Lieberman received in 2000 (80%) -- when the first Jewish American appeared on the presidential ticket of a major party.
Recent support for Obama is a bit higher among older Jews than among Jews younger than 55. According to combined Gallup Poll Daily tracking data from Sept. 1 through Oct. 21, an average of 74% of Jews aged 55 and older supported Obama for president across this period, compared with about two-thirds of younger Jews.

I’ve noted a real fascination with socialism among Jews.

I think that is urban legend. The person they name as her grandfather isn’t her grandfather.

I don’t understand it, but then I don’t understand a lot of how people decide their voting.

It will be Christians who will come to the aid of Israel. Shame of the American Jews. It was Jews in Germany in the 1930's that kissed up to Hitler.

I really don’t get this. Do Jews like paying higher taxes? Do Jews no longer care about the security of Israel?

Sure...vote for Obama...but say goodbye to Israel, schm*cks.
To: Alter Kaker
There are lots of Jews who would rather fight than lay their heads on the chopping block. Unfortunately for us, most of them live in Israel.
