Obama Extends Lead With Jewish Voters

[highplainsdem]

Source: Buzzfeed

President Barack Obama is closing extending his lead with Jewish voters, leading among registered voters 70-25 percent according to unreleased Gallup daily tracking poll data .

The data, obtained through a Democratic source, shows Obama up from leading 64-29 in polling this spring — and on par with his 2008 performance at this point when he led 69-25 over John McCain in Gallup polling. The data is drawn from tracking polls taken between July 1 and September 10th.

Despite a heated debate on Israel, most Jewish voters are Democrats and align closely with the Democratic Party on domestic issues from abortion to taxes and spending, and Republicans have tried without success for years to pry the group away from the Democratic Party.

8. Israel's Netanyahu would win early election: poll

(Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would win an election if it were held now, an opinion poll showed on Monday as he weighs strategy towards Iran's nuclear program and speculation grows that he will seek a renewed public mandate.

14. True, but not sure 30 out 0f 120 is a ringing endorsement.

from the article:

"But a poll conducted on Sunday night and published in the popular Yedioth Ahronoth daily showed Netanyahu's Likud party winning 30 of 120 parliamentary seats if a ballot were held now, up from the 27 it currently holds.

Such a result would make him the leader of the largest faction and the likely candidate to form the next government."

It's expected that they can put together a coalition, but that doesn't really say the majority of Israelis like him, IMHO.

9. No - they just don't vote based on Israel

It's very low on the list of issues of concern.

5. But...

I read here just yesterday that he'd alienated Jewish voters because he "snubbed" BiBi. Was I lied to?

[Cha]

11. I think we were on both counts..

That was a myth that he snubbed Netanyahu.

13. Yes, you were lied to by bigots and propagandists.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

6. For me, not enough. Democrats used to get 80% of the Jewish American vote.

[cali]

15. In 2000, Gore won 79% In 2008 Obama won 78%

John Kerry won 75%.

The President will win over 70% this time. Probably closer to 75%. Hardly a calamity. duh. I do wonder why that's not enough for YOU.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

16. It's not enough for ME when Democrats used to win a lot more. I already explain that, though...

DUH!!

It was really unnecessary for you to be a smart ass.

[cali]

17. Actually, sweetie, you've explained nothing. DUH

beyond petulantly squealing about how it's not enough for you. and gee, I hate to break this to you, but that ain't explaining.

NOW, I've been a smart ass, dear.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

18. If Democrats used to win 80% of the Jewish vote, and now they barely get 70%, that's a

big difference. And that's my explanation. Too bad that you don't seem to have the intelligence to understand.

And furthermore, you've been on my back for quite some time. What's wrong? Nothing better to do, sweetie?. Stop writing me. Go stalk someone else and welcome to IGNORE!

[cosmicone]

19. You don't mind

being condescendingly called "sweetie?"
