A tracking poll published Thursday by TIPP for Investors' Business Daily shows the hard-to-believe statistic of 44% support for Mitt Romney among likely Jewish voters, versus 40% for Obama, with 16% undecided.
The statistic is qualified with the comment that it is based on a small sample and should therefore be viewed with caution.
The poll was conducted among 812 likely voters, with an 8% advantage for registered Democrats over Republicans.
If the numbers are in any way close to representing reality, they reflect an unprecedented shift in Jewish voting preferences. Jews have voted overwhelmingly for Democratic presidential candidates for decades. Obama enjoyed 78% of the Jewish vote in the 2008 election.
Jewish support for Obama has been slipping recently. In September, the TIPP poll gave him 59% versus 35% for Romney. That in itself was seen as quite an accomplishment for Romney. It was not far from the 40 percent number in support of Dwight Eisenhower recorded by Jews in 1956, which was the highest backing by Jews for a Republican in nearly a century.

Just WOW.
I knew I had to read down before posting. That was the first thing that popped into my head.
Most likely that’s the fallacy of the poll. A heavy Democratic bias should be a given in the sample, and instead the pollster uses a light one. But it could have been true, where before it was unthinkable. Thank you scary Kenyan man.
That would be an astounding shift!
That is an excellent point.
I will need more than one poll to believe this but I will take it
Any American Jew that votes for Obama is either insane, stoned, drunk .....or high on too much Kool-Aid consumption!!! I cannot believe that any objective Jewish person would even consider voting for this head to toe, “Jew Hater”, Barack Hussein “Muslim Brotherhood” Obama!!!
Every time I spent time in Israel during my life and see the faces and smiles of little innocent Jewish children playing or being pushed in their carriages by their moms & dads, I think....how could any American Jew vote for this demented man, Obama, that would allow iran to destroy all Jews in a NY moment....and never think twice about it!!!
Shucks, cold, evil hearted. America hater, Obama could care less about our murdered Ambassador and three other American public servants slaughtered in LIBYA by his Muslim buddies, why should he care about a bunch of hated Jews being sent to the Iranian delivered nuclear gas chamber. Sad!!! Sad....that so many American Jews will betray their people, their culture, their history and their heritage!!!
No.
I’ll believe this when I wake up in the morning and see the sun has turned blue and the sky yellow.

I’m with you all the way.

It’s easy to understand and hard to imagine.
Wasn’t Reagan’s Jewish support a high water mark?
Wasn’t that less than 35 or 40 percent?
I’m dubious.
Perfect. ;>)
I’ll believe this when I see it on “Commentary”!
LOL!!
This past weekend I drove thru a area with a large Jewish population. Almost every house had a Obama sign or two on their lawn. A few even had huge Obama banners on the house. Before/after that area, even in MA, you could not find a Obama sign.

It almost worked for John Kerry!
F. John Kerry was Irish throughout his life and won elections to Congress - until he mysteriously discovered he was actually a Jew the whole time!

Yep. I remember.
