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.

Only half? why would any jew vote for a friend of the muslims
That is what I am thinking.

Unlikely.
It would be nice if American Jews woke up.
But they won’t. They’re hypnotized by anything anti-America.
I’ll believe it when I see the proof at the voting booths.
Until then, I doubt it.
Till then, enjoy the plantation.
I’m not so sure about that - After talking to a guy at Easter, (Jewish, of course) they are catching on. They are MAD. They are talking amongst themselves. They are angry at having been duped. I really look to see most of the Jewish vote for non-Dems.
Thank God! Now, may the rest wake up as well as other religions.
The vast majority of Democrats will vote for Democrat simply because they have been conditioned to think a certain way when it comes to the term "Democrat" and "Republican".
Try talking to them. They have little to no idea what the Democrats are doing in DC. All they care is "their guys" are in charge. It the same sort of mindless loyalty to a political party that you see in sport fans. As long as "their team" is winning, what is going on is irrelevent.
Voting for them is a Pavlovian reaction with them. They simply cannot think anything different.
I sincerely hope you are right.
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.
They will return at election time, they can’t help it!

I hope that those who are disillusioned with Obama will refect this with their votes this November.
Not to worry, they’ll be back when he needs them.
42% said they’d vote for Obama? That’s hard to believe.
It is up to us to ensure that.
On election day the Jews will continue to get on the trains.
I wish I could believe it... but Jews in America seem to have such a hate for Israel. I do not understand it.
Buyers’-Remorse-PING!
Most of the Jewish people of Europe went meekly to the gas chambers. They did not fight back. The men let their women, children and little babies go to the gas chambers without lifting a finger to fight back. Better to have died fighting with dignity and honor than to meekly go to Hitler's ovens, but most of the Jewish people did not choose dignity and honor over obesience to the state.
After WWII, the Jewish people said "never again," and they fought to retake their ancestral homeland back from the Arabs. They have continued to fight to keep Israel, but they have voted time and time and time again for statist politicians in whatever countries they happen to live. So the only conclusion I can draw from this history is that most Jewish people are statists to the core.
I think this is a real tragedy as well as a head-scratcher. After what the National Socialist government of Germany did to the Jewish people, the logical reaction would have been to never trust large, overly powerful central governments again.
