WASHINGTON — Presidential candidate Barack Obama is making significant gains among Jewish voters, according to two new polls.
The polls suggest that after months of hovering around 60 per cent, Obama appears to be within striking distance of the 75 to 80 per cent of the Jewish vote won by the three previous Democratic nominees for president. A Gallup tracking poll of 564 registered Jewish voters, taken over the first three weeks of October, found Obama leading Republican John McCain by a 74 to 22 per cent margin. That was a 13-point increase in support for the Democratic nominee since Gallup’s July poll, which had Obama leading 61 to 34 per cent.

Is this poll accurate?
Who knows anymore...Polls, Polls, Polls...
Jews in Calif and NY are not relevant.
The ones who count are the ones in South Fla. Lieberman should hit this area hard.
MAYBE they’re lying???? To the pollsters.
Hope so- Because if sen. Obama’s poll lead relies on 75% support from Jewish voters- he’s not going to get it.
Polls, schmolls!
Guess they haven’t heard about the LA Times tape?!
Feh!
Jews don’t deserve conservative support anymore. I am sick of them. We are the ones that support them and they turn around a pi** on us. I stood on a street corner with other Christians in support of them last year—never again!!! (sorry for the nasty word)
If this is a true movement, there is not a dumber people on earth. This guy is no friend of Jews.
Mark Levin excepted, of course!
I guess they didn’t poll the editors of The Jewish Press, the largest Jewish weekly in the country, or their orthodox readers who usually vote in a block. The Jewish Press heartily endorsed Senator McCain last week.
There could be a picture of Obama vacationing in Berchtesgaden with Hitler and the Jews in New York would still vote for him.
G-d supports the Jews, no matter what happens.
Yeah, he’s one of the good Jews.
Who was it that said this about American Jews..?
They live like Episcopalians but vote like Puerto Ricans.
More horsecrap. Fake articles to try to sway voters, just like our MSM always does.
