Oy vey!
I suspect it’s even worse. They probably polled ZERO Orthodox Jews..they won’t respond to pollsters..but will likely vote for Mitt.
If, as a headline last week proclaimed, ‘’Debbie Wasserman Schultz Is Under 45% With 16% Undecided’’ in her heavily Jewish district, why wouldn’t other American Jews not also be expected to be turning away from the Democrats this year in record numbers?
And since Debbie herself is Jewish, not to mention the chairwoman of the DNC, you’d think she’d be leading by high double digits.
In any case, this poll is good news. Mazel tov.
The poll states that it was a “small sample, interpret with caution”.

If so its going to be a blow-out.
There maybe something else at work here... This may seem strange, but Romney is less of a threat as a Mormon than an Evangelical (or insert other here) given how often Mormon’s are misconstrued, as Jews they can relate...
I expect it to be closer than normal, but if we get 35-40%, I'll be very happy.
All I can tell you is that in my heavily liberal Jewish (reformed and secular) town, the Obama...Oy Vey! yard signs outnumber the three or four Obama yard signs I've seen.
For a few weeks, the ONLY yard signs we were seeing were a smattering of anti-Obama signs. Finally, a few Romney signs, then Obama signs started to appear. In the last week, the Romney signs have taken over and there are virtually no Obama. It's unbelievable and a huge departure from the last few presidential elections where the Dems have probably had a slight advantage. I'm in a first ring Philadelphia upper middle class suburb with lots of limosine liberals, many if not most of whom are Jewish.
Don't know if the libs just don't have their signs out yet or if the Obama campaign hasn't been generous with them or what. My Hillary loving Jewish neighbor is voting Romney. She was very upset over the booing of Israel at the Dem convention.
And don’t forget, we haven’t even had the foreign-policy debate yet, during which Romney will undoubtedly bring up his friendly meeting with Netanyahu this summer in Israel, and the importance of Israel as an ally, etc.
And what will Obama say in response? If he says anything nice about Israel he will antagonize the all-important Louis Farrakhan wing of the Democratic party, so he’ll probably just say a few ‘’uh’’s and ‘’er’’s move on quickly.
I think the breakout of Dems vs GOP is questionable, since Jewish voters are easily 2:1 registered Democrats.
Still I think the results are intersting to say the least.
I can hear Michelle crying from my house.....
Just WOW.
That would be an astounding shift!
I will need more than one poll to believe this but I will take it
No.
I’ll believe this when I wake up in the morning and see the sun has turned blue and the sky yellow.

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.
I’ll believe this when I see it on “Commentary”!
