Despite fierce op-ed page debates over the Obama administration's actions so far on Israel, Iran and the Middle East as a whole, American Jews are unwavering in their support of the new president, according to a new Gallup poll.

Tracking polls conducted through Obama's first 100 days in office show that 79 percent of Jews approve of Obama's performance so far, about the same percentage that voted for him last November.

Only Muslims gave Obama higher approval ratings, with 85 percent responding that they approve of the president. Respondents who identified themselves as nonreligious also indicated overwhelming support, with 73% indicating approval.

Liberal Jews showed overwhelming support for the Democratic president, with 96% approving of his job performance. Among those who described themselves as moderate, 77% approved of Obama.

Jewish conservatives split evenly, with 45% approving of Obama and 45% disapproving.

Just part of the “great delusion” of the end times.

There are way too many people who have already “drank the Obama cool aid” for life.

Before everyone starts ripping on the Jews....this is consistent with all liberal voters. So, yes the liberal Jews are being stupid....just like liberal Atheists...and liberal Christians.

Notice they don't cite Orthodox Jews, which 80% I would guess are opposed to him.

I wonder if it has anything to do with Rahm Emanuel being Jewish and running the show.

If the Jews want to form a suicide pack that is fine with me. I’m not going to join them.

Any non-secular Jews included in this polling?

Are they trying to make people dislike them? Never ever will I undertand the mentality that makes people vote against their own interests.

I have about given up on Jewish voters. they seem to have no clue that the One and his party are opposed to them and will not lift a finger to protect Israel.

With the history the Jewish people have over the last few millennia, you would think they would recognize their enemies before the knife is put to their throats.

But I don't understand the polling for conservative Jews. Why do they split 45% to 45%?

And they seemed pretty satisfied when Hitler took those awful guns off the streets, too.

For whatever reason, this is what intelligent, elitist liberals do. Beats me why.

Guess they don’t care that he is selling Israel out to Iran and Syria..

Which Jews might those be?

I don't know, maybe that's why they have to history they do?
