Gallup poll: No erosion in support for Obama among Jewish American voters
The Hill ^ | 7/5/11 | Michael O'Brien

Posted on 07/05/2011 6:25:03 AM PDT by markomalley

President Obama enjoys strong, steady support from Jewish Americans amid concerns that he faced an erosion in their backing.

A new Gallup Poll found Monday that 60 percent of Jewish Americans said they approve of the way Obama is handling his job, a figure that's relatively consistent with the high level of support he's enjoyed from that bloc this year.

Thirty-two percent of Jewish Americans said they disapprove of the way the president is handling his job, a figure that hasn't really jumped since May 19, when Obama delivered a major speech outlining a peace process for Israelis and Palestinians.

That speech was sharply rebuked by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and spurred speculation — especially on the right — that Jewish voters who had been aligned with Democrats might shift their support away from Obama.

That storyline has prompted some coverage, and Democrats have been sensitive to the charge; the Democratic National Committee recently went out of its way to boast that a fundraiser featuring Jewish Democrats in Washington was oversold.

The Gallup Poll, conducted throughout June, has a 7 percent margin of error.

He got 78% of Jewish vote in 2008 and now has a 60% approval rating. That’s an 18% drop then way I look at it. Anyway the blind support comes from what I cal JINO’s, Jews in name only.

And so it will remain, until the last of the Offen Juden are once again marched off to the ovens. For some reason, my co-religionists are fatally bewitched with collectivism. Given their less than desirable fate under the collectivism of the Third Reich, that they still support the ‘same old, same old’ under Obama leads me to believe the following may be correct:
1. Rumors about the IQ of Jews may be exaggerated.
2. Data regarding the education of Jews may be in need of revision.

PS Jews had no better results with collectivism in Israel, as the sorry results of the kibbutz clearly indicate.

PPS Collectivism not only is ‘Theft’, is kills people.

Go to any synagogue which is not Orthodox and ask them.

The answers will be a paradox to any American.

I've seen lots of fall-off in support for Soetero among Jews...the problem is they're idiotically frightened of most GOPers thanks to the successful endless smear campaigns against anyone on the right.

Voting wise, I expect very few of my co-religionists to vote GOP, but their turnout will decline come 2012.

Of course, Jewish vote totals are tiny, and, as noted elsewhere on this thread, it's the huge piles of money controlled by some of my tribe that makes the Dimocrat world go 'round. Those folks are simply circumcised commies, for whom organized religion is a game for morons.

For what it's worth we saw an OBAMA/BIDEN bumper sticker on a car yesterday.

That's in the Washington DC area ~ and we haven't seen one of those stickers in months.

It looked new.

Obama and his running dog lackeys have LOST the support of several of their natural constituencies around here.

Obama, Israel and the Jewish vote
By JPOST EDITORIAL
07/05/2011 01:52

Obama will undoubtedly continue to enjoy wide support among American Jewry, but this does not mean his Mideast policies will be good for Israel.

Judging from voting trends during the past three decades, Democratic President Barack Obama can rest assured that he will receive a majority of Jewish votes in the 2012 presidential election. Even Ronald Reagan, who was the only modern Republican presidential candidate to seriously challenge Democrats’ dominance among Jews, mustered just 39 percent of the Jewish vote in the 1980 elections. Subsequent Republican candidates have received anywhere from 11% to 24% of the Jewish vote. In the last elections, John McCain received 22% to Obama’s 78%.

It is not just the RaceMarxist.

GENERALLY speaking, this demographic has an inexplicable fondness for Communism in general.

forget Israel.....what about their pocketbooks....their 401ks, their business climate? “it’s the economy, stupid” is still the mantra that counts.

another year of this economy and we will see how easily they pull the lever for four more years.

I think it’s something along the lines of a vote for Democrats is a vote against Christianity.

See, I haven't. But I live in the Maryland suburbs of DC, so that may have a whole lot to do with it.

Voting wise, I expect very few of my co-religionists to vote GOP, but their turnout will decline come 2012.

See above.

Of course, Jewish vote totals are tiny, and, as noted elsewhere on this thread, it's the huge piles of money controlled by some of my tribe that makes the Dimocrat world go 'round. Those folks are simply circumcised commies, for whom organized religion is a game for morons.

The bolded text sounds just like a few folks I know from Potomac.

I have to run to Microcenter in a couple of hours for work and, I absolutely guarantee, if I drive through the parking lot of the Charles E. Smith Community Center on the way (it's also of Jefferson Ave), the percentage of Obama stickers I see on cars vice anything else will be at around 85%-15%. Unquestionably.

Sad to say but once they're locked into a concept, that's it, locked in perhaps, forever even though REALITY shows Obama will STICK IT to Israel if (G-d forbid) he is elected for a second term. Very hard to understand why you would support someone who hates your people. Then again, this could be due to Jewish assimilation where many Jews no longer have a place in their souls for their faith and G-d...

Guaranteed these are Jews in Name only.
