According to Gallup, Obama has already lost support among Jewish voters, down from 78 percent to 68 percent.

On one hand, you are talking about 12% of 2% of the electorate or less than one quarter of one percent.

On the other hand, there are more substantial concentrations of Jewish voters in five swing states where the election is likely to be decided: Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Nevada.

The big question is why do more than two of three Jewish voters still support Obama?

“The big question is why do more than two of three Jewish voters still support Obama?”

Because the Republican party lost any good will they had with Reagan after George H W Bush, James Baker and Pat Buchanan’s RNC speech. Once you lose your pro-Israel reputation, it is hard to gain it back.

Jews are LOCKED into a Liberal thinking mode. They still think either FDR is in the White House and their relatives are working in the WPA or in the garment Worker's district circa 1919.
Most Jews cannot shake off an unfair concept that all Republicans are reactionary, gigar-chomping, Greedy Capitalists, part of the Military Industrial Evil Complex.

Many remember the Watergate/Vietnam/Nixon era and still label all Republicans in that way. The Reagan era changed that and many Jews came to see the Light, being emitted from that “Shining City on the Hill”, that American Exceptionalism and they voted for the Gipper. Well, a lot has changed since then but many Jews are still deeply buried in the banners of the past.

As a Conservative, republican Jew, I really do not know what it will take to jar them out of their Democratic haze but we need to take encouragement from Obama’s dwindling support - that is still worth a lot of votes.
