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.
American jews would vote for Hitler if he was a democrat.
A seven percent margin of error, which this poll has, means the polling data is not worth squat. Anything above five percent is worthless.
As far as Reform Judaism is concerned, you are 100% correct. They have hollowed-out their faith and filled it with a noxious blend of "social justice" issues.
The following link is to the "Social and Legislative Outreach" arm of the reform Jews in the U.S., and it's not pretty.
Pro-abortion, anti-gun and protective of Obamacare - and that's just for starters.
Oh, I see. I’m often confused because I assume people are thinking about their political convictions or voting choices.
“How do they know they are Jewish?”
If your name is Whoopie Goldberg, you are polled.

I doubt that they are disgusted enough with Obama to vote Republican. Sitting it out is the best we can hope for.
Not surprising. Israel has never been a real factor in the Jewish vote. Why? Because both parties try to outdo one another in their support for Israel. Congress provides a blank check. It really doesn’t matter who is in the WH. Hence other factors govern the Jewish vote.
At a distance, your analysis is logical. Up close, it’s depressing to see the silly criteria so many people use to make important decisions.
We should be careful here. It seems that after the largely conservative fantasy of “Jewish Dems running away from O” does not seem to have materialized, Freepers here are expressing their disapproval or disappointment by ... yes,... bashing the Jews. It is very disingenuous.
Well, the Bible does say, over and over again, the people are stiff-necked. I guess this is just more evidence of Biblical truth!
As for Bible predictions, I've been predicted at and quoted at since the 1950’s, with the assurance at that time, and every decade since then, that it would all happen within a few years, a decade at the very most. Yet here we are. And your prediction that it is imminent is more accurate than all theirs, why exactly?
To repeat myself: the prophecies given in the Bible will be fulfilled in the fullness of God's time, not yours or mine.
I am not predicting anything the Bible says it was not destroyed and I believe in God and his word...
Totally bogus analysis. Note that Obama’s Jewish approval has dropped precipitously from 83% in 2009 to 60% today. Worse, Jewish approval is still rapidly sliding downhill, falling from 68% to 60% in the last five months. These trends are hardly cause to celebrate and totally contradict the Orwellian headline “No erosion in support for Obama among Jewish American voters”.
to quote B.B. King, “the thrill is gone”
What does that mean, in the Bible... “stiff-necked”?
Yes, it is. If you pay attention to democracy, you can get a very jaundiced view of your fellow citizens.
"I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him." (John 5:43)
While Obama is not THE Antichrist, he has the spirit of Antichrist. When the Antichrist comes, the Jews will choose to believe him and he will establish a 7 year "peace" treaty with Israel/the Jews. He will break that treaty after exactly 3 1/2 years and set out to destroy all of the Jews on the face of the earth. This will tragically result in 2/3rds of them being killed = "cut off and perish"(Zechariah 13:8). Thankfully when the Lord Jesus Christ returns, ""every eye will see him" and the, remnant of Israel which is left, the 1/3rd which are still alive will finally believe on the Lord Jesus Christ en mass, and as a nation, as their Messiah, the promised Messiah of the Old Testament and He will both save them from their sins and deliver them from ALL of their enemies, forever! (Zechariah 12:10-13:1, 14:1-21)
