New Gallup: Obama slips with Jews
Politico ^ | Sept. 15, 2011 | MJ Lee

Posted on 09/15/2011 9:36:36 PM PDT by Clairity

President Barack Obama's support among Jews has dropped, new data shows.

Four out of 10 Jewish Americans currently disapprove of Obama, according to polling data provided to POLITICO by Gallup, which has yet to post the numbers on its website.

This 40 percent disapproval rating is 8 percent higher than the 32 percent disapproval rating among Jewish Americans that was last reported by Gallup in June.

Obama's approval rating among Jewish Americans is also down to 55 percent - a five point drop from his approval rating in June, which stood at 60 percent.

Together, the rise in disapproval and dip in approval ratings are a net negative 11 point downturn for Obama among Jews.

The real question is what are the 55% thinking who approve of him.

At first glance I read this as Obozo sleeps with Jews. I must refrain from quick scanning.

His approval rating would probably drop even faster if he tried that.

He will still get 60%+ of the Jewish vote.

If Obama doesn’t win them back, his goons will later attack them.

I figure Obama will probably carry the Jewish vote in 2012 by the same or similar percentages as in 2008. Where he’ll get hurt politically is in the overall turnout numbers. I might be wrong (I often am, lol), but I think Obama is going to have a lot more folks inclined towards “sitting this one out” in 2012.

A great many Jews, like a great many Catholics and other Christians, are that “in name only.” Their true loyalties lie elsewhere,

“The real question is what are the 55% thinking who approve of him. “

Or the 43% of whites that voted for Obama in ‘98.

Dear NoLibZone,

“He will still get 60%+ of the Jewish vote.”

Probably. Heck, I hope you're right, in that I hope he merely gets in the 60s. The Kenyan got 78% of the Jewish vote in 2008.

Losing 10+% of a key constituency isn't going to help him.

I figure Obama will probably carry the Jewish vote in 2012 by the same or similar percentages as in 2008.

Assuming he will run - which is still an issue - the guess here is that his percentage of the Jewish vote next year will be much less: somewhere in the 50s.

BTW, his reported 78% of the Jewish vote in 2008, though widely accepted by political gurus, was probably overstated by perhaps as much as 10 points because it was the product of statistically flawed polling techniques.

Gallup's poll results in general have tended to overstate the strength of Democrat politicians and policies because of sampling technique errors as well.

You can ask your question of Catholics and other religious groups who have supported the Fuhrer also. Many on FR want to continuously slam Jews for supporting the disgrace occupying our WH. I remember Zero’s invitation to address Notre Dame despite his stance on abortion. There are many religious groups who need to do some soul searching with regard to the RAT party and then ask God for forgiveness.

As for the Jewish vote, Jews will also be closing their wallets with regard to the RAT Party whose leader is out to destroy Israel. Count on it. The GOP would be wise to make that issue quite clear.

Never Again is ringing very hollow thanks to the political hacks in DC and elsewhere, IMO.
