Poll: Obama has Lost Almost Half of his US Jewish Support
in ^ | 5/9/10 | Gil Ronin

United States President Barack Obama has lost nearly half of his support among American Jews, a poll by the McLaughlin Group has shown.

The US Jews polled were asked whether they would: (a) vote to re-elect Obama, or (b) consider voting for someone else. 42% said they would vote for Obama and 46%, a plurality, preferred the second answer. 12% said they did not know or refused to answer.

“Jewish people always claim to support Israel since it is fashionable in some circles”

The fashionable position is to give lip service to Israel while persuing policies that would result in a final genocide of the Jewish people.

That’s rather overbroad.

Do you also hate Roman Catholics?

After all 850% more Roman Catholics voted for Obama than Jewish people voted for Obama -— something like 20% (or 10%, need to check if I am doubling) of his vote.

“Jews will never vote for GOP. They make money off of big government rules reglations etc. They have made an art out of it. The bigger the government the more they make in the USA.”

We do?

Do we also drink Christian children’s blood?

Hoard silver and gold in our basement?

You’re pathetic.

Yes, those other results you cite are from 'Rat-sponsored polls and are listed in a table in a book authored by no less a partisan 'rat than Ira Foreman, the head honcho of the notorious National Jewish Democratic Council. I suspect the results for those earlier years overstate the 'Rat vote by only a few points, but the polling in '08 was based on exit polling of too small a number of participants in too small a number of locations.

Plus, the pre-election polls among Jews had Obama in the 60s, in contrast to the earlier Dem candidates whose pre-election poll numbers were closer to the purported numbers they actually received. And there are, of course, very logical and practical reasons (starting with obvious connections to antisemites) why O wouldn't have done as well with Jews as a group than the earlier Dem candidates.

Why do they usually vote Dem. I mean no offense and admire the Jewish go get em attitude. Good poker players too.

The old “listen to me, not the stats and numbers that the political world and history books use” argument, this gets tiresome.

PEW says it’s number came from “Source: Analysis of aggregated election weekend and post-election callback surveys conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.

Saying that someone posted the exit polling data in his book doesn’t say anything.

Your whining is not persuasive.

The Dem just got 62% in the Florida 19th Special Election...

That's true, but in '08, Wexler and another Dem running as an independent combined for 73%. So you can say that the 'Rats lost 11 percentage points.

The district is reputed to be "heavily Jewish" but I'm sure Jews make up much less than half the electorate there, since Jews are such a small minority of the population in general.

Frankly I don't give a hoot what PEW says. PEW political polls are notoriously pro-Rat anyway. Give me Rasmussen over PEW(K), Gallup, WaPo, NY Slimes, CBS, Marist, Quinnipiac, NBC, and all of the other lefty pollsters any day for sound polling technique and accuracy.

My question is simple, “Why the heck would a Jew vote for this guy in the FIRST place?” Oy!

Florida 19 has the largest percentage of Jewish voters in the nation at around 42%. Probably the only district to exceed 30%. Maybe 20 districts with a Jewish population over 10%. I know the poll things interest you, imo that’s not what these commentaries are about.

So what? Jews will always vote ‘Rat. Even when they say they won’t. Any ‘Rat candidate can be counted on to get 75+% of the Jew vote. I can’t explain it.
