Obama Losing New York's Jewish Support [Sienna poll]

President Barack Obama’s support from Jews in New York State has plummeted in the past month and he now can count only on a slim majority to vote for him.

If elections were held today, only 48 percent of the Jews in New York said that President Obama should be re-elected, with 46 percent saying the next president should be Mitt Romney, the de facto Republican candidate who is to be officially nominated at next month’s party convention.

The results were slightly different when voters were asked directly if they would vote for Obama or Romney today, with the incumbent president receiving 51 percent of the Jewish vote while 43 percent went for Romney.

More....

Excellent news, if this poll is at all accurate - a huge drop in the percentage of Jewish votes the _resident received in 2008. Perhaps everybody is finally waking up to the disaster that is ODumbo?

And Obama is going to lose FL, in part, because far less Jews will vote for him.

It may be that the reason Ubama is acting like he has the election sewn up is precisely because the Soros company SCYTL that counts the votes has guaranteed him a win.

Too bad it won’t register but a barely detectable blip on the big, deep-blue radar screen that is NY.

Hmmmm....wants to see Israel annihilated by Muslims, Jews in America are starting to think more critical of him. Go figure. Has the Democrat Mule been beaten once too many times?

I’ll believe it when I see it.

[TrueKnightGalahad]

On one hand, true enough today...but then, Reagan took NYS, and that was only against the second worst president ever, so Odumbo losing NY is not inconceivable. But more important, Jews who will not be voting for him are hardly likely to donate time, money, and effort to pushing for his re-election, and that can and will have ripple effects across the country.

Nonsense. Jews will vote overwhelmingly for Obama. Their commitment to social and cultural depravity and decadence—government sponsored abortion, the homosexual agenda, driving religion from the public square—trumps all. Obama is the perfect candidate for America's overwhelmingly secular Jewish community.

Now I see why some Republicans are not crazy about Romney winning the nomination—he’s a “de facto Republican.”
