The sample size here was very small (72 Jewish voters), limiting interpretation of the results. Still, I think the results are worth noting.

Is it possible that they are getting their news these days from Israel instead of the New York Times?

Jews for CHRISTie :-)

Nationally they make up aobut 2% of the population.

How much more could it possibly be there?

Obama won 100% of the moron vote in the 2008 presidential election.

Not to be a bucket of cold water, but it's not uncommon for Governors and certainly mayors to defy political convention and to attract voters that don't vote Republican in National races. McDonnell in VA did well better with blacks that McCain did just a year before.

While the NJ results might be a hopeful sign that at least some American-Jews have "seen the light" (or come to Christie - get it?), it's in no way a guarantee that they'll vote any differently in2012 than they have in the previous 15 Presidential elections.

How in the hell can ANY JEW vote democrap?????????

Obama won 78% of the Jewish vote. This is madness and definitely suicidal. One of my Jewish friends who didn't vote for Obama has told me that the penchant for Jews to vote liberal is a very complicated issue that goes deep into the Jewish psyche and Jewish history. Even he doesn't completely understand it and is very frustrated by it.

The FReeper angst over the Jewish vote is a waste of time. Jews are crammed into twelve overwhelmingly Democrat metro areas, and maybe twice that many mostly Democrat congressional districts.

There are more potential Republican voters among unregistered or Democrat-voting evangelical Christians than there are total Jewish voters.

72 voters? N=11%. That is a plus or minus of 11%. It could be 49% or 27%. This is worthless. Actually, it is worse. What is the variability? Were they all in one area?
