This political survey was intended to provide a snapshot of Jewish voters. It offers some interesting insights into the depth and intensity of Jewish political engagement, but by the nature of this study it does not permit one to make any defining conclusions.
Further, the findings confirm that from this particular cohort (some 2300 participants), Jews hold deeply embedded policy positions on key domestic and international issues. In this particular study one finds a distinctive Jewish conservative voice emerging on Israel related matters and an array of domestic social issues. [Bold added for emphasis by poster.] The data also suggests that among highly engaged Jews, those who are active within Jewish religious and communal life, there is a sharp divide on political attitudes and policies. This liberal-conservative split models the current political landscape of the country. The intensity of this political and social disconnect could also be seen in the additional comments offered by many participants to this survey... These messages in many ways confirmed the findings of Frank Luntz and others who have written about the growing presence of angry American voters. The focus of many of these commentaries negatively depicted the "other" voting group (namely, liberals offering viewpoints on conservatives or conservatives providing comments about liberals).

that's rather lame. As a response to Jewish and/or black voting patterns, it doesn't win friends. I know you meant is as humor, not a threat, you said so, but it should be an embarassment to most conservatives.
Yehuda, I know Jews and blacks who not only vote for Republicans, but work for them. Of course some of them FR regards as RINOs, better to have Democrats in power. I doubt they'd relate to themselves as "conservatives" in the context of these occasional threads.
Actually the exit polls don't attempt to count them in many states. CNN has a good database, they all use the same exit polls. If you review state by state results by religion, you'll note that Jewish only appears in the northeast and Florida. Most states, even states like Illinois and California and New York, are statistly insignificant. With the exception of Florida, in those states where the Jewish vote is recorded, it isn't much different that the general population.
Rechecking, Florida doesn’t have Jewish results either, nor do NJ or CT. They appear to have changed the ranking in some of these states. Essentially you’re taking statistically unreliable numbers from a number of states, actually chosen precincts, and extrapolating them nationally.
Because of Bin Laden it almost no coverage instead of just extremely little. ;d
Being an election nut I followed it very closely.
