Accidental dupe. Please rec/comment in LiberalArkie's thread instead: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251619600A new poll shows a majority of New York Jews view Clinton as unfavorable. Biden catching up.

New York Jews are losing their taste for Hillary Clinton and are moving towards Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden, according to a new Siena College poll.
A majority of 54 percent of Jews in New York view Clinton as unfavorable, slightly more than the state average of 51 percent. If primary elections were held today, Clinton would come out on top but only with a plurality of 45%, compared with 24 and 23 percent for Biden and Sanders respectively.
Among Jewish voters, according to JPInsider, registered Democrats would give Clinton only 36 percent of their votes. Biden would win 31% of the Jewish vote, and Sanders would pick up 25 percent.
Clinton is in a tailspin and cannot dig her outsell of her deepening e-mail scandal hole, which makes Sanders look more appealing. Biden still has not announced if he will run, and if he does throw his hat in the ring, he will grab support from those who so far have backed off because of his procrastination.
Siena College pollster Steven Greenberg said:
For the first time ever, Hillary Clinton is under water with New York voters, facing her worst favorability rating ever in her adopted home state. Her favorability rating has seen a net drop of 21 points since July.

(35,568 posts)but then reason steps in and you realize it's better to encourage this sort of thing with polite, elegant responses like
"Why yes, that will definitely reach more people than Hillary 4U and Me" as you elegantly place your palm on your neck Nancy Pelosi style
But hey, don't blame me. I told the Clinton supporters in 2007 that this was a much better video than the crap they were churning out. Should have contacted this guy, changed a few words and presto. The problem could be that he didn't even like Hillary back then but just did the song for tongue-in-cheek fun. Still, you get my drift. The funniest thing is there are several Hillary supporters requesting a 2016 update in the youtube comments because it was that good.
What you win? Is my eternal love not good enough for you?

Not to mention Clinton has a 21 point razor thin lead in the full poll.
