I've stated before that Jewish voters SHOULD leave Obama. But it seems that American Jews' connections to Israel and to their faith are weaker by far than to their club membership.
Here's an article that claims otherwise. Personally, I don't believe it. The Democratic and Republican parties could flip their ideologies 180 degrees (and, on many issues, that's precisely what they've done), and their members won't change their votes. Party loyalties run deep. Baaaa.
Jewish Voters Leaving Obama
Polling significantly worse than in 2008
BY: Washington Free Beacon Staff - May 1, 2012 12:26 pm
Obama is far behind his 2008 pace with Jewish voters, new polling shows. According to Michael Barone at the Washington Examiner:
The latest survey of Jewish Americans, conducted March 14-27 by a firm called Knowledge Networks for the American Jewish Committee, shows Barack Obama leading Mitt Romney by a 61%-28% margin. That’s significantly behind Obama’s 78%-21% margin over John McCain among Jewish voters in the 2008 exit poll. …
Obama gets 72% of the votes of those most concerned with the health care issue, according to the current AJC survey, and 62% among those most concerned about the economy. But Romney leads Obama among those Jews whose major concern was national security issues (44%-42%) and U.S.-Israel relations (44%-42%). Clearly Obama is losing some Jewish voters on foreign policy issues.
