Jewish Support for Obama Dips

Yes, President Obama still dominates the Jewish vote, beating out Mitt Romney 64 percent to 39 percent, according to the newest Gallup poll. But considering that Obama racked up a whopping 78 percent of the Jewish vote in 2008, this is a significant dip for him.

Among Jews, Obama’s current 64 percent to 29 percent advantage compares with a 74 percent to 23 percent advantage before the election in 2008. 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.

These numbers aren’t just notable because of what they say about Obama — the Republican Jewish Coalition notes that Mitt Romney’s 29 percent support would be “the highest level of Jewish support for a Republican presidential candidate in 24 years.”

Obama’s polling numbers with Jewish voters were at times lower than 64 percent during the 2008 election. But that was also before he cinched the Democratic nomination, and when Hillary Clinton was still in the race. Since 1992, Democratic presidential nominees averaged around 79 percent of the Jewish vote, according to the National Jewish Democratic Council. It would be a huge coup if Romney was actually able to capture 29 percent of the vote (John McCain won 21 percent in 2008).

How in the world one Jew would ever vote for this evil in the white house is beyond me. It is quite obvious who he supports & it is the palestineans & certainly not the Jews.

  12: 40 HE has blinded their eyes, and hardened their hearts, that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.:

    46. I am come a light into the world that whosoever believes on me should not abide in darkness.
    47. And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
    48. He that rejects me, and receives not my words, has one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
    49. For I have not spoken of myself; but the FATHER which sent me, HE gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
    50. And I know that HIS commandment is l ife everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the FATHER SAID UNTO ME, SO I SPEAK.

      People who have never lived in the U.S. can vote in our elections? Crazy.
      
      God bless you President Obama.

        It's amazing that you could support this evil-minded biggot who hates God. For shame—but I just remembered, you hate God because you are an atheist. What a pity………..

        If you like Obama and think he is doing a good job, and then you say you love Jesus, then I would have to conclude that the jesus (little "j") you say you love is a figment of your own imagination, and not the Jesus of the Bible. Mr Obama has come out in favor of "gay" marriage, yet the Jesus of the Bible clearly indicates that marriage is to be only between one man and one woman:
        
        "4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
        
        5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
        
        6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."
        Matthew 19
        
        "5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
        
        6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
        
        7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
        
        8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
        
        9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."
        Mark 10

  Evidently, the majority of the Jews have a death wish, that can be the only explanation for such lunacy!
Connie Gibbs

I don't see why Jews would support him at all with the way he is/has been treating Israel. He does not show he is their friend as far as I have heard.
- Linda F.
  
  I agree, Connie. It's baffling. Why on Earth would they support the man who obviously sympathizes with the Muslims, who are eager to wipe the Jews off of the face of the Earth?

    Linda….because they have a blinded eye…they are decieved.

Jewish Support for Obama Dips — Now that should be a no-brainer.
Catholic Support for Obama Dips — Another no-brainer.
Christian Support for Obama Dips — Now this is catching on.

God Bless America – We sure need it !

    NOT- if we can vote him out, we will be saved from One World Government…for now, at least. (I am no naive person, I have been reading some polls, and foresee a squeaker.)

Having Grown Up In NYC NY . And A Paper Boy In The Fifties….Let Me Say Here That JEW NEW YORKERS Are A Chip Off The Old Block Of 'BOLSHEVIK'S' (COMMUNIST SUPPORTERS) Always Were….Look Up The History Of The Jew In America……They Have been spies For Their CREATED Communist Manifesto…..And Always Supported That. If You Understand this''? You Can see The Same Happened In GERMANy Before HITLER Rose To Power.
- CJM2
  
  And all have seen the results of whatever it is you claim…………6 million jews and several more millions of others who refused nazism paid the ultimate price in the ovens of the concentration camps. If you want to tell a story of historical events, then be sure to tell the rest of it.

This apparent loyalty to the jackass in the White House can be blamed very heavily in the American media. The Jewish public has no real information as to what is going on with the country due to a very puzzling worship of the jackass by the media. Nothing , but praise comes forth from all media!!! All of us would be blind without the internet!! Even so, the slippery little fraud in our White House will suffer before election day, and will be thrown of the White House!!

Jewish support for Obama dips?! Well, imagine that!! As the SNL Church Lady used to say "Could it be…….SATAN?!!" Maybe not Satan, but it IS undoubtedly his (Obama's) undying devotion to his arseliifter pals and the ARSELIFTER (aka. Muslim) Brotherhood that has caused that dip; AND ANY REAL JEWS KNOW that the filthy lying arseliifters that surround them ARE and always have been their sworn enemies even before "the ORIGINAL ARSELIFTER" came on the scene in the Mideast with his twisted ideology he dared to call "God's religion" or "the one true religion"in the Seventh Century A.D., all the while advocating enslavement or killing ANYONE who does not go along with this "religion"…..Satan"?!….Maybe not, but not far off!!
Terri Stafford

I just don't get why any Jewish person would vote for Obama. He's showed many times just how he feels about Israel and they seem to just not get it. Obama is just another Hitler as far as I'm concerned!! They're always talking about remembrance, and what happened in the Holocaust should NEVER be repeated, but if they would just open their eyes and do a little bit of research, they would see the similarities of Obama to Hitler. Come on people – it's time to wake up!!!
raelenesgrandma

It's scary to think that Jewish people in the US would care so little about about Jews in Israel. This president is definitely against Israel and Pro Muslim. Why would any Jewish person vote for him? Shame on them.

It is unfortunate that we appear to be allowing history to repeat itself; the first and second world wars are visiting us in all its past fury in the hopes that the third time around will make the enemies the winner. Even those once defeated have become mesmerized by the hypnotic spell of nazism, socialism, facism, and communism–and that could prove their own undoing. islamism has incorporated the very worst of all the isms we fought against years ago and we should not give them so much as an inch…as long as obama is in the Oval Office, they do stand a chance in gaining a foothold. News reporters can be defeated by ignoring their newspapers and not tuning in on the media controlled TV/radio channels; perhaps they would get the message that when they return to honoring their Code of Ethics and provide fair and balaned reporting, people will once again listen to them. The manority should not be led by this riff-raff of a few. It isn't just the Jewish people held at bay–it is all of us and we should act together to make positive changes.

Why would the Jewish people support a Socialist like BHO ? Did they forgot what Hitler did to them ?
ONTIME

It's about time the socialist side of the jewish community found out they are destined to be tossed under the bus by a Fraud…
CryingSoftly

With the way Obama has treated Israel it is beyond me how even one Jew could support him.
LCRonMar

Please stop, think a bit, remember history and current events. Jews who came to live in the U.S.A. rather than going to Israel, as God has commanded them to do, came mostly from Eastern Europe and France, fled the Nazis or remembered the Nazi horrors against them, saw at first Communist Russians as their saviors.
More recently Russian Jews migrated to Israel and elsewhere after the Soviet Union collapsed and they could go. Some bounced through Israel, collected the benefits given to Jews making aliyah – return to Israel – and moved on to many places around the world. (cont.)
- LCRonMar
  
  Many of those still in Israel are Communists, certainly Liberals. The kibbutz – communal living – is a Soviet Communist concept, and it is all but non-existent in Israel now. Older Israeli Jews living on kibbutzim realized after the first generation they had nothing to pass on to their children or grandchildren; the young ones had nothing to inherit, thus few reasons to continue living in kibbutzim. So many of them have left the kibbutzim, some have left Israel entirely and come here as the land of opportunity.
  They brought with them and still do bring with them and have their Leftist philosophies, politics and culture. So of course they vote in majority for Obama. Few people actually know Obama is a Muslim, at best strongly influenced by Islam. Like Obama few Jews here really care what happens to Israel.
Wise old guy

64% to 39% equals 103%. This must be a math course that teaches us that there are 57 states in the United States!

  Stop confusing us with facts!! Repeat the new matra: I belive the press and their polls, I do not think for myself.
Bob Koomans

Why don't people who profess to believe in God, do what He asks? – Don't they (Jews, & Christians) know that God has a BASIC SET OF RULES that must be KEPT and obeyed from the heart as the Redeemer, Messiah, The Christ, Taught us to? The Law in the first few paragraphs of Gen-2, shows Who God's people are: The ones who obey the Law to Respect, Obey, Honour God The Creator's Rest Day sequence on the day commanded in each time-zone. This is a sort of living monument or memorial to His Creation. God does Not Allow and fake gods or days to take away His Right to what He Created. Any individual, tribe or Nation that opposes this principle and that of Ex-20 Laws, make "curses" for themselves increasing every generation that "Hates" God (Disrespect etc…) In that light, USA and many other Western English-speaking countries have made their curses and are beginning to suffer more as a result. Prophecy suggests many may be overthrown by other Nations… Just like the Jews have experienced in the past. Jews also must accept their Redeemer (Messiah) came, and saved many of their ancestors in AD70, when the responded to Y'Shua's prophecy about the fall of Jerusalem and an opening in the siege, urging all those who believed and would Hear His Word, to escape to the 4 corners of The World, praying all the time that it not be on the Sabbath, or with child at the breast.
