Exactly... my point. Obama now getting 68% of the jewish vote... A massive drop from traditional jewish support and the support he got in 08. That is a vote of no confidence. http://www.njdc.org/site/page/jewish_vote_for_obama_exceeds_all_expectations In the four presidential elections between 1992 and 2008 the Democratic presidential nominee averaged 79%. The Republican Jewish Coalition and other Republican spokespeople were quite confident that McCain would outperform past Republican nominees in the Jewish community. A few even predicted that McCain would surpass the 39% of the Jewish vote that Reagan received in 1980. The chart below highlights how the national and state polls of Jewish voters progressed over the course of this election. The bottom line from the 2008 exit poll: Obama 78%, McCain 21%, Other 1%
So 1 out of 10 changed their minds but 7 out of 10 Jewish voters still support Obama Jews are smart people so I will roll with the 7 out of 10 that support Obama rather then the 3 out of 10 who support Romney
I should have said 11 points which is more that 10 percent, its about 14 %. you are reading that the wrong way. Jews traditionally support the Democrat in a big way. But Obama has been so bad on the economy and on Isreali that he has alienated a large block of the normally no brainer support for dems.
Correct, significantly lower than expected. from politico... http://www.politico.com/politico44/2012/04/twointhree-jewish-voters-back-obama-119467.html ... 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.
Admittedly, at the present rate of Jewish "cross over" we should see Romney win a majority of their vote sometime in 2015, unless the rate accelerates sharply (in which case Romney would win a majority sometime in 2013).
Jewish Vote May Not Be Up for Grabs, But Romney Could Get Enough to Beat Obama http://www.policymic.com/articles/1...abs-but-romney-could-get-enough-to-beat-obama I believe when you combine the ones that billionaire Adelson and his Isreali newspaper will suppress or swing... Romney has already won over enough. Adelson is supporting the Romney campaign with extraordinary cash. We saw Winn Bash Obama... the smart wealth Jewish people outside Hollywood see the choice as Romney or the Muslim Brotherhood. Obama has lost Dems and Independents in larger numbers plus we will see some of the youth vote stay home and he is seeing and exodus by some jews, soccer moms... now black pastors. I am not sure how the black pastor thing will work out... but the other departures are in the statiscally significant range. Obama is down by far more than the pollsters with their over sampling of Dems realize.
I agree, I'm not confident he's down enough to cost him the election though. Four more years of the Obamanation sitting on the throne is sickening.
I have heard a few pollsters state the the states trail the national polls. If that is true... then Romney will win easily.
The truth is hidden away, but if you scratch the surface of the internet and you apply those facts to polls... Barring any big change in the world Obama is a one termer. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2012/06/11/the_tipping_point_114438.html In 2008, 43 percent of white voters cast their presidential ballots for Sen. Barack Obama. That was more than he needed to win. Today, according to the most recent FOX News poll, 35 percent of white voters say that they support President Obamaâs re-election. This is what makes the 2012 presidential election too close to call. The overriding fear of Team Obama is that the presidentâs support among white voters will collapse. The math is simple. If Romney gets 65 percent of the white vote (which will likely comprise -- at least -- 72 percent of the electorate) then he gets 48 percent of the total vote. From there, Romney need only get 20 percent of all non-white voters to win by a comfortable margin. The 2008 presidential election featured Mr. Obama at the height of his political appeal. Black turnout, youth turnout, liberal turnout surged accordingly, padding his victory margin by as much as two full percentage points. His margin was further padded by the lethargy of conservative voters, who were lukewarm to Sen. John McCain. This time around, the enthusiasm for President Obama among younger voters, black voters and liberal voters has dimmed appreciably. Conservative voters, despite their misgivings about Gov. Romney, are no longer lethargic. Theyâre fired up and ready to go. Wisconsin added fuel to their fire.
