One thing to remember, and I am sure it affects the results to a degree, is that Jews tend to be very liberal.

This is from the Jewish News of Greater Phoenix:

Not only did Kerry receive a higher share of the Jewish vote than previously thought; over the last three presidential elections, Jews have consistently voted 28-30 points more Democratic than the country at large. This analysis also showed that a large majority of American Jews think of themselves as Democrats. Between 65 and 74 percent of Jews identify as Democrats, while estimates of the percentage of Jews who identify as Republicans range from 11-21 percent.
