Oh My… After a Year in Office Obama Loses Almost Half of His Jewish Support
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, May 9, 2010, 10:28 AM
Do you remember when Jesse Jackson said that under Obama Jews would lose all of their clout?
He was right.

Oh my… In little over one year in office Barack Obama has lost nearly half of his support among American Jews.
Israel National News reported:
United States President Barack Obama has lost nearly half of his support among American Jews, a poll by the McLaughlin Group has shown.
The US Jews polled were asked whether they would: (a) vote to re-elect Obama, or (b) consider voting for someone else. 42% said they would vote for Obama and 46%, a plurality, preferred the second answer. 12% said they did not know or refused to answer.
In the Presidential elections of 2008, 78% of Jewish voters, or close to 8 out of 10, chose Obama. The McLaughlin poll held nearly 18 months later, in April 2010, appears to show that support down to around 4 out of 10.
The poll showed that key voter segments including Orthodox/Hassidic voters, Conservative voters, voters who have friends and family in Israel and those who have been to Israel, are all more likely to consider voting for someone other than Obama.

Joan of Argghh! commented:
Only half?
greenfairie commented:
Orthodox/Chasidic Jews have generally voted Republican for quite some time for this very reason. They figured out the Democrats are not for Israel.
Reaganite Republican commented:
What’s the residual half thinking, lol
lonetown commented:
Ha – I’ll believe it when I see it!
The great brilliant jews trip over themselves to vote for jerks like Obama.
Laways have, always will. polls notwithstanding.
Bob commented:
Many Jews are liberal so I guess they put that before their own lives
daryl commented:
A Little OT but what the heck?
Need a breath of fresh air?
Hell yes I miss them! Who doesn’t, other than a bunch of unconscience, leftist, obama voting b*stards. I even forgave him his cinco de mayo moment.
Class, looks, and intelligence ALWAYS trumps affirmative action!!
I’m tired of being ashamed for what’s happened to this country. ENOUGH ALREADY!

Communists do not usually stand with the Jewish people so, to bad this was not taken seriously before the election. Most of us who saw this guy coming were not vocal enough. At least now it is apparent these Marxist criminals have an agenda detrimental to Israel and Jews worldwide. Thank God we still have the right to vote. They will be gone soon however, they will not go quietly. Prepare for a major sh*t storm before November.
John commented:
The percentage of support for Obama among the big money donors who are well-connected inside Democratic Party politics is probably much higher than the numbers for Jewish voters in general who don’t have the same sort of stake in making sure the Democrats remain in power. The ones ho have given lots of $$$ to the Dems expect lots of favors in return, and know their clout would be lowered if the Republicans were to regain control of the White House and/or Congress.
It would also be interesting to see a state-by-state or even a metro area-by-metro area breakout of Jewish support for Obama. My guess is the more insular Jewish voters who’d never think to venture out into flyover country other than jet travel between coasts or to certain ‘safe’ zones in the interior — because they believe all the media stories about the anti-Semitic fundies lying in wait out in the boonies — are the ones who’ll stick with Obama pretty much through the point where he uulates at the end of some speech on the Israeli-Palestinian situation.

…Wait, what?
President Wonderful has lost nearly half of his support among American Jews?
No… that just can’t be right..
This McLaughlin group.. they must be a teabaggin’ bunch of racissssts!
(God.. protect our friend, Israel)
Robert commented:
So nearly half of American Jews are as dumb as #%@!
And a little over half are dumber than #%$!
firewifem commented:
My dad lives up in NJ, about 15 minutes from Manhattan. He has many Jewish clients, friends, and business associates. I would guess that this is true from what he tells me. All his Jewish associates are frankly scared. I’m with you, Lonetown #5, I’ll believe it when I see it, but hearing this from my dad (for months actually) makes me think it might be true. God help us all.

Paul N. Marston commented:
An election was just held in FL-19 which has an enormous Jewish population. That district also has twice as many senior citizens as the national average. The question was whether the voters would vote as senior citizens whose Medicare was just cut a half a trillion dollars or as Jews who think that Obama can do no wrong apparently even including helping to destroy Israel.
The result was they were Jews first and senior citizens second. The Democrat got 62.02% of the vote and the Republican got 35.18%. If they are cooling on Obama, it has not trickled down to Democratic members of Congress.
Arch commented:
As it was explained to me by some of my Jewish friends, most Jews in America are secular liberals who tend to vote democrat. They are either not strong supporters of Israel or they did not believe the warning signs from Obama’s middle name to his advisors to his membership in Rev Wright’s church. His foreign policy advisors including Susan Rice, Samantha Powers, and William Halley all hold pro-Palestinian positions.
Perhaps the biggest threat is Obama’s new nuclear policy. Israel has a clandestine nuclear weapons program. Obama, offering to protect only those who respect non-proliferation, has in effect, green lighted an Iranian attack on Israel.
American Jews did not flood Obama’s campaign with contributions. The Saudis did. Acorn and SEIU laundered the money as $50 individual contributions just as they flooded the caucuses to capture the nomination.
In 2008, 78% of American Jews were Obama’s useful idiots. Now they are asking “What have we done?”
oldguy commented:
I think American Jews are booking first-class reservations for the boxcars.
Barry Davis commented:
We are getting down to the useful idiots – the only Jews still supporting Obama are the socialist (who adhere to the religion of “Social Justice” or in their vernacular “Tikkun Olam”) which is more implementing a socialist redistributionist restructuring/destruction of the West. These Jews are as Jewish as Obama, Sharpton and Reverend Wright are Christian – which is to say, not at all other than to the extent it provides them a base to pursue their socialist and anti-American exceptionalist agendas. These are the Jews the anti-semite anti-Israel Walt and Meersheimer refer to as the “Righteous Jews”
Jews should look at whether their clergy are supporters of the Anti-Israel Pro Obama J Street Rabinnical cabinet (search the J Street site) or broke with rabbinic tradition to endorse Obama as a stalwart friend of Israel to counter the realization in the Jewish community that Obama was a friend of terrorists including Edward Said and his Ilk.
These are the California Rabbis who Endorsed Obama, vouching to Jews he was a stalwart friend of Israel – Their silence now is deafening!
It is not too late for them to apologize and redeem themselves

No matter what the polls say, when it comes voting time the Jewish vote always goes to the Democrats.
Most Jewish people in America have no more interest in Israel than Italians, Germans, Japanese have interest in the country their forefathers and mothers came from.
gus commented:
I just want to remind our Obama voting Jewish friends, that OPIE is not a MUSLIM.
His father was.
His Step father was.
He went to Muslim school.
He said when the “Political winds blow in and ugly direction” he’ll stand with the Muslims.
Can I repeat that last one??
Obama said when POLITICAL WINDS BLOW UGLY. He’ll stand with the MUSLIMS.
But OPIE is a stalwart backer of Israel. RIGHT AMERICAN JEWS???
Even Obama’s own words get ignored by his syccophantic slobbering followers.
gus commented:
On a related note. Opie isn’t a MARXIST/COMMIE either.
Mom was commie
Daddy was commie
step Daddy was commie
Grandparents were commies.
Mentor and pedophile Frank Marshall Davis was commie.
In HIS OWN WORDS, he sought out Marxist professors and friends at Occidental and Columbia.
Bill Ayers is commie.
How effing stupid is America.
So to review. He’s not Muslim and he’s not Commie.
Right??
Mike commented:
American Jews are brain-dead. They would consider voting for someone else if that someone were a democrat. The Democrats hate the jews and the jews keep voting for them. It kind of reminds me of the blacks in that they keep voting for Democrats and Democrats keep instituting policies that goes against black people’s best interest.
Jeroboam commented:
First of all “someone else” might be taken by some respondents to mean another Democrat in a (very hypothetical) primary. But beyond that, the key thing is ” … will CONSIDER voting for someone else.” Sure. They’ll consider voting for an actual GOP opponent but then vote for Obama anyway.
Finncrisp commented:
This is what change looks like. I hope we see more breaks with this corrupt and despotic administration.

I’ve never understood how one could be both Liberal, and a Jew. Then again, Catholics deem pacifism to be more important than life itself.
It’s a mad mad mad world.
Robb76 commented:
Perhaps we believer should pray for our Jewish
brothers and sisters. Pray that God would open their eyes to the danger that the O-man is to them and Israel. Might be more effective then pissing and moaning about their stupid voting habits. Just saying….
OxyCon commented:
“It’s the f—— Clintons”. :p
cdnrod commented:
We have Americans who fight with the Taliban and we are suprised that some Jews voted for Obama
NikFlorida commented:
Hrm… 42% say they would re-elect Obama, and only 46% say they would CONSIDER another candidate? And yet, according to the AJC, 37% of American Jewish voters describe themselves as “independents”? I’d say the President’s support among Jews is pretty strong.
It’s all, of course, in how you ask the question. And this question uses the word “consider” to practically beg respondents to choose option B. That’s not hard to figure out.
