A new poll of American Jews, conducted by Public Religion Research Institute, finds that 62 percent of Jewish voters prefer Obama over a generic Republican. About a third of American Jews prefer a Republican candidate. Of those that prefer a GOP candidate, 56 percent back Mitt Romney. Among voters who backed Obama in 2008, 86 percent want him reelected â with 7 percent crossing over to support a generic Republican. Still, a plurality â 35 percent â of Jewish voters rate themselves as âdisappointedâ with the Obama presidency, while 33 percent rate themselves as âsatisfied.â And 46 percent of Obamaâs Jewish supporters report that, while they support him, theyâre ânot excitedâ about casting a ballot for him. Among Jewish voters, 51 percent point to the economy as the top issue facing the country â with only 4 percent identifying Israel. Israel also did not register as second-tier concern for most American Jews, with only 5 percent identifying it as the second-most important issue. âThere has been some speculation about possible movements toward the GOP among Jewish voters, but the current state of the race suggests that this yearâs Jewish vote will resemble past elections,â said Daniel Cox, PRRI research director said in a statement. âThe likely Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, is unpopular among most Jewish voters, and the GOPâs signature campaign proposalârepealing the recent health care lawâis opposed by nearly six-in-ten American Jews.â Itâs another sign that despite the overheated rhetoric about Obamaâs Israel policy and his uneasy relationship with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahuâs government, there are unlikely to be large scale defections of Jewish voters from his coalition in November.
Weird thing is most Mormons live by high ethical and moral standards.They give their time and money to humanitarian causes.Unlike Obama and Bush you wont find stories of cocaine and alcohol use in Romneys past.Unlike Clinton You wont find marijuana use and womanizing in Romneys past. Back to politics,many have negative feelings about Mormonism and democrats will attack him on it
"Among voters who backed Obama in 2008, 86 percent want him reelected â with 7 percent crossing over to support a generic Republican."
It is not weird, their high ethical and moral standards are being insulted by the clownlike performances of Mitt and Newt. .

This has been a chronic weakness in the Jewish culture. Aligning or being indifferent toward leaders who are not in their best interests.
As I've mentioned, I grew up with jewish friends and worked for the jewish gangsters in the garment district when I was a kid and I can tell you that jews do not care about other jews. There is no united sense of purpose or of self-preservation. They wouldn't piss on one another if they were on fire. Its a fatal societal flaw. My friends are already hating on Romney like they did George W. Bush. When I ask about Romney they literally sputter trying to tell me how much they hate Mormons. Every single one of my friends of jewish faith intends to vote for Barrack Obama. To be honest it is playing a part in my decision to move to southeast asia.
