New Poll: Jewish Vote for Obama Approaching 70% and Growing
By M.J. Rosenberg - October 20, 2008, 2:02PM


This is interesting. The Jewish vote for the Democratic nominee is now within range of the traditional 70-80%.

That is not surprising. About 20% of Jews are Republicans (I'm proud that the number is so low), you add another 5% or so that won't vote for a black guy and that is pretty much that. Obama ends up with 70%-80% on election day.

The Jewish vote won't determine the election so the main significance of this poll is what it says about the rest of the country. No, 70% of non-Jews are not voting for Obama (that would be nice) but the trend is moving Obama's way. If it wasn't, the number of Jews still believing those lying e-mails would be higher.

And the issue of Israel is cutting Obama's way.

"The data, taken from a nationwide poll conducted in early September, indicates that Jews as a group are 30 percent more likely than other white, non-Hispanic voters to support Obama.

"Surprisingly, the poll found that gap widened to nearly 40% among Jews who rank Israel 'very high' as a factor in their choice of candidate...."

Nice. And the poll was taken BEFORE the crash.

being from Florida and all....(me that is...)

That would definitely shut the door on McGramps.

the samples are more than a month old.

. . . and know that at any time they could be next.

ANY of us could be next.

The Chosen have chosen. :rofl:

It sure doesn't hurt among the conservative set.
