New Poll: Obama’s Jewish Support Stands at 64%
Algeneiner.com ^ | 6/8/12 | staff

A Gallup poll released on Friday shows 64% of registered Jewish voters currently support President Obama’s re-election, while 29% support Mitt Romney.

“Among Jews, Obama’s current 64% to 29% advantage compares with a 74% to 23% advantage before the election in 2008,” Gallup writes in its new poll, entitled ‘Mormons Widely Favor Romney, Jewish Voters Back Obama’. “Thus, he is running 10 points lower among Jewish registered voters than in 2008, which is five points worse than his decline among all registered voters compared with 2008.”

The Republican Jewish Coalition notes the 29% of Jewish voters who support Romney, represents the “highest level of Jewish support for a Republican presidential candidate in 24 years.”

If you meant that tongue-in-check, you are far too stupid to be a mere idiot.

This isn’t a surprise to me — they are liberals first and Jewish second. Simple.

I suspect that, if Obama announced that in order to advance socialism half the Jewish population had to go to the ovens, he would still get a majority of Jewish votes.

I am not anti-semetic at all. I was joking about how stupid the Jews are now adays that fall right in line with the Democrats and Obama. When he would like nothing more then Isreals demise. I am sorry if I said something that offended you, my intentions were not to offend. I am sorry. I am just sick of the self hating jews in this country. Again I had no intent to offend.

Jews are terrified of Christians. Even though evangelicals are the best friend Israel ever had. They fear that Christians will take away the holy sacraments of abortion and gay marriage. Even worse,they fear that their daughters will gasp...MARRY a Gentile. Alan Dershowitz has made this clear. A Jew marrying a Gentile is an incredible offense

I will put aside your paranoia to simply comment that there is nothing wrong with Jews following God's command to maintain the faith of our ancestors by marrying within our own people. See Deuteronomy 7:3. Presumably you are a Christian. Would you like it if your child married a Muslim? Particularly if they lived in a society that was 97% Muslim? Same principle.

[Jews] fear that Christians will take away the holy sacraments of abortion and gay marriage.

There is a very limited place for abortion (when the mother's life is in danger) and no place whatsoever for gay marriage under traditional Jewish law.

Any Jew in favor of abortion on demand and/or gay marriage is not acting in accordance with any "sacrament" but rather in accordance with a leftist secular view - as is any Christian who supports these notions.

Let me clarify. I was speaking of today’s liberal Jews. E.g. Alan Dershowitz. And the vast majority of Jews that I personally know. I can count on one hand the number of politically conservative Jews I’m friends with. But even the liberals are pretty clear about intermarriage. I almost married a Jewish woman. She wouldn’t because she told me her dad would never accept me, even though he liked me on a personal level. Fine. No real problem. She also rejected a guy who was Jewish, but later converted to Jehovah’s Witness. Finally she accepted marriage to a Jewish man, much older. All was peaches and cream, with two children. They divorced recently and she admitted that they were never really compatable. She admitted she made a mistake by not accepting me. Oh, well. I’m happy now regardless.

American Jewish voters put religion ahead of politics. Their religion is Liberalism.
