The Jewish vote in presidential politics has never been very big., only around two percent. Yet the significance of how Jews vote cannot be overstated. Since such data was first collected, no Democrat has ever won the presidency with less than 2/3 of the Jewish vote. In 2008, Barack Obama got 78% Jewish support, but as they say, that was then and this is now. Obama has done everything possible to insult and belittle Israel and those who love the Jewish State.
Obama’s stubborn insistence that Jerusalem is NOT the capital of Israel has turned a “little point” into a major attack on Israel’s sense of confidence in Obama and America.
His stated refusal to help Israel in the event of a necessary attack on Iran’s nuclear weapons factories has all but killed the once-friendly relationship between the Jewish state and America. Not surprisingly, Obama’s political blunders have begun to show in a survey of Jewish voters.
A new Investors Business Daily/Christian Science Monitor/TIPP Poll spells out the danger Barack Obama has brought upon himself in regard to the Jewish vote. It found that while Obama leads overall by a slim 46/44 over Republican Mitt Romney ( a dubious claim in itself), his support among Jewish voters has fallen to just 59%, a number reminiscent of the 53% the anti-Semitic Jimmy Carter got in his failed reelection campaign in 1980.
This sharp decline matches the decline in support among virtually every other group. In fact, it casts substantial doubt about the truthfulness of the barrage of “polls” we are seeing. At this point, there are no groups Obama lost in 2008 that he is winning today. There are no groups he lost that he is closing the gap on; and among the groups he won, he is not doing better with any of them – not women, blacks, Hispanics, young voters, or Jewish voters.
Nevertheless, viewing these numbers as merely due to Obama’s clumsy attack on Israel tells only part of the story. It is simply not plausible that every one of the nineteen points he has already lost is attributable to discontent over Obama’s treatment of Israel. That would be saying that America’s Jews are not engaged in the life of our country and live a detached insular existence. No one can make that claim.
The Jewish canary is dying in Obama’s coal mine.

To our Jewish voters, I pose this question. You can see what Obama and his democrat cronies are doing to America, but do you see what they are doing to Israel and the Jewish people???? Obama is throwing Israel under the bus and overtly siding with Iran who wants to erase Israel off the face of the earth. And yet, the Jewish voters vote for the democrats????? Don't play into Obama's hands. Stand up to Obama and his cronies. Make your vote speak for Israel. Vote Republican. Thank you!!!
My take is how can anyone being a jew vote for this man who claims he he has Israel back the same why he told the Poles he was going to put up a misslie defense system in Poland.All his buddy Putin had to do is talk to Obunghole and he scewed the Poles.All Poles and Jews should get together and put up a big voting bloc to keep Mr.half and half out of the White House.
I hope the Jewish people, or, the Jewish American people vote a lot smarter this time in 2012, than they did in 2008! For their own good, I hope so, not to mention for the good of the rest of us, because being Americans, all of us, this is the most, the SINGLE MOST important election in the history of American voting! If this Half and Half colored Racist in Office, this Diseased Mu SLIME in office, is allowed another MONTH in office, it will start going downhill faster than we ever imagined it could, or would. Because then, he will be there, and as far as he is concerned, TO STAY, and I don’t mean for another only 4 years, I mean TO STAY INDEFINATELY! Anyone with half an eye can already see that he wants to be The American Dictator, not the American President that is proper. This “Diseased One” means to stay put, and for a GOOD/BAD LONG TIME! Jewish People of America, PLEASE BE SMART THIS TIME! For US ALL, PLEASE VOTE INTELLIGENTLY AND WITH CAUTION! IT IS NOT ONLY YOURSELVES WHO WILL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES OF PUTTING THIS CREATURE OF SUSPECT ORIGINS BACK INTO OFFICE, BUT THE ENTIRE NATION!!!!!! Everything that your ancestors, your forefathers came here for is at risk if you do not realize what this CREATURE, THIS BEING, MEANS TO DO TO YOURS AND OUR FREEDOMS! And to our LIVES!!
