Support for President Barack Obama among Jews in the state of Florida is down 7 percent on 2008, according to an American Jewish Committee (AJC) poll released Thursday.
A total of 69% of Florida Jews said they would vote for Obama in November’s presidential elections, down from 76% in 2008, the AJC noted.
A 7% drop in the Jewish vote likely represents over 50,000 votes in a state that the Republicans won in 2000 by fewer than 600 votes.
The 69% figure closely matches the results of a Gallup poll among Jewish voters nationwide from last weekend, which put support for Obama among US Jews at 70%.
Only 25% of Florida Jews said they would vote for Mitt Romney, according to the AJC poll.

First time I can remember a Jewish poll prior to election.
That’s only the 7% that are willing to admit it.
So, in previous poll of retirees, he lost elderly vote ; he has lost an important part of the Jewish vote ; and he has badly lost indies-—but Obama is supposed to be winning FL?
“Only 25% of Florida Jews said they would vote for Mitt Romney, according to the AJC poll.”
The other 75% were still trying to figure out why they had a hanging chad in the Bush v Gore election.
“While Jews approve of how Obama is handling “the economy,” “health care,” and “national security” (by margins of 64%, 69% and 76% respectively), figures related to Israel are lower.”
Really? National security gets 76%! WTH
only 7%???
The new “Mybuyersremorse.com” ads should give some more Jews courage to walk away from Obamugabe.
So, what this poll says, however sampled and decimated, is that, given Obama’s and Clinton’s obvious enmity for Israel (based on most any of their actions taken with regard to Israel), a mere 7% of Democrat-voting Jews are dismayed by this?
My God, people (those US Democrat Jews). For a people ‘chosen by God,’ you have a pretty piss poor allegiance to the historical home-country of your religion.
Only 7% more. That is purely disgusting. Israel should start keeping tabs on you and keep you from visiting there at all costs. Mind Poison
7% translates into 14%.
7% as voted in Florida, 7% as voted in NYC by absentee ballot..
So are they gonna vote or just stay home?
Even after 3.5 years of this communist Jew hater in the WH there is only a 7% drop in support?
Just how much must they love Marxism over their religion and country?
There is just no logic to explain this. Powerful governments have been historically a genocidal enemy of the Jewish people and these kool-aid drinkers want more obama government?
Who knew Kool-Aid was Kosher?

They still love Communism more than they love Judaism.
Hope you’re right. I have never understood why any Jew would vote for a Dem, especially the Obama version.
How ANY Jew could vote for the piece of crap president we have is a disgrace. Shameful!
Only 7%? I would think it would much, much higher. Are these people not paying attention on Israel? Are they not looking on what he has done economically? What a disaster he is. And only 7%!
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
