J Street Poll: Obama's Jewish support tops Republicans

Majority of US Jews disapproves of Obama's Arab-Israeli conflict policy; separate poll shows Muslims blame West for domestic problems.

WASHINGTON – US President Barack Obama handily defeats his current Republican presidential opponents among Jewish voters, according to a poll put out by J Street Thursday.

At the same time, the majority of American Jews disapproves of his handling of the Arab-Israeli conflict, the poll found.

Obama currently enjoys 63 percent of the American Jewish vote compared to 24% for Mitt Romney and 67% when facing off against Michele Bachmann, who received 19% support, according to the poll.

Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, and Bachmann, a Minnesota Congresswoman, are leading polls of announced contenders for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.

Polling in 2008 showed Obama with a similar lead over his Republican competitor John McCain, though he ended up garnering 78% of the Jewish vote according to exit polls.

The J Street poll also showed much higher Jewish approval ratings for Obama than most other American constituencies, finding that 60% approve of the way he is handling his job. An aggregate of other polls shows that his national approval ratings are in the mid-40s.

When it comes to Jews voting Republican, the only poll I'll believe is election day. Way too many of these “Jews are finally waking up” stories that turn out to be meaningless. This article lays out all the reasons for frustration. Jews disagree with Obama’s positions but are going to vote for him anyway because — God forbid — they can't vote for those Republican Christian Conservative Nazis. I hate to say it but many secular Jews (emphasis on secular) will never vote Republican because of their prejudices.

Obama will NEVER lose American Jews. If they didn’t turn away from him when he told Israel to commit suicide, they will NEVER turn away. Jews are a lost cause. Israel means less to them than Marxism does- simple as that.

Hold on folks - this is from J STREET. The false-flag “pro Israel” group that is actually a Soros backed anti-Israel group. Propaganda to try to convince Jews that Obama is still worthy of their support. Don’t take it as gospel or use it to rant about Jews just yet.

Hard to say, but evidentiary you are right.

They certainly do not appear to hold any loyalty to their religious brethren.

American Jews for some reason have always felt some sort of sympathetic loyalty to blacks.

More so than they do to Israel IMO.

I know that if a Jewish individual is working for a union company they almost have to vote with the Unions. That’s part of the problem..... Additionally there are many Jewish people here in the states who see nothing wrong with dividing Jerusalem, nor giving the palestinians their own state. Many are liberals here and so natural they vote democratic...unfortunately...and they do tend to lean toward socialism.

Now that’s just those I’ve spoken with and know, they are afraid to vote against who the union is supporting.

Obama currently enjoys 63 percent of the American Jewish vote....

Well, I gather this means either (1) American Jews don't care about Israel — or Jerusalem — anymore; or (2) They are simply living in a state of total cognitive dissonance, probably under the influence of untenable ideas produced by the contemporary Kultursmog. (I.e., progressive ideology. Talk about worshipping a "false God before Me!!!"]

Read: The Jewish "majority" in this poll is totally, insane, deranged.... They actually seem to be quite "un-Jewish." What happened???

Which probably means that the defense of Jerusalem against the Islamist jihaddi hegemonic onslaught (with forthcoming help from the UN) devolves to American Christians....

But one suspects that so many American Jews — maybe even the majority — detest American Christians, especially the Evangelicals.... The latter are seemingly more committed to the idea of Jerusalem surviving under Israeli authority than most American Jews are.

I sure can't figure this out. The problem staggers the imagination....

Rabbi Daniel Lapin wrote an illuminating book on this topic: America's Real War.

But I suspect more Christians than Jews read it....

Thanks for posting this, Nachum!

“Jews: He is killing us ,but we love his minority status.”

The Jews/Democrats love hate relationship reminds me of the battered whore that always comes back to the rotten pimp hoping that “he’ll change and things will get better”.

And Jews are supposed to be the smartest people in the world.

Maybe in mathematics. Lotta Nobel prizes for physics for example. But as many people as hate them, and how they choose to deal with them as opposed to how they deal with evnagelical Christians, who are their frineds, well it makes you wonder.

The reason is because jews identify with the discrimination that blacks, as well as other people, experience.

However, they are aligning themselves with the party of discrimination and racism without even realizing it.

Yeah, I realize that jews have experienced discrimination, and I, as a white person, have also experienced it. It happens. People judge, categorize, paint with broad brushes, become prejudiced. Governments institutionalize reverse racism...I’m just gonna go ahead and say it, people in general are bigots whether they want to admit it or not.

One of the funniest proposals I’ve ever heard from government is to desegregate prisons. Good luck with that...they segregate themselves on purpose, wonder why...

But, I digress, jews better wake up fast, or they will experience it again in a real big way, because their collective bleeding heart is causing them to support the exact same people they encountered in Germany about 70 years ago, and I imagine the result of that will be history repeating itself.

Yes, and perhaps hiding an unconcious death wish to boot.

Google The Grinding of America. Watch the trailer then order the 90 minute DVD. People who grew up after l945 have no clue as to how life would be under The New World Order. (Ie a combination of Socialism, Communism, Fascism, Mormonism and Islam>) They all need to watch this DVD.

sad to say this , but....the great majority of good , decent and God fearing Jews are now living in Israel .

They need to send ‘missionaries’ back here to talk to their left behind Diaspora-ites .

The young Jews need to be de-Liberalfied in their education .
What will it take ? Don’t they know it IS possible to anger Jehovah to such an extent that He wreaks vast tribulation upon them for their stiff necked and idolatrous ways ?

It could happen again . Here ....Jews need to be extra careful , but they are not . Too many are haughty , proud and arrogant . They are not loyal to their God nor their own people and culture . God will judge them accordingly . Young and old . Careful....
