A new McLaughlin Group poll shows that nearly half of Jewish-Americans who voted for US President Barack Obama in 2008 would not vote for him again.
When asked if they would: (a) vote to re-elect Obama, or (b) consider voting for someone else. 42% of Jewish-Americans said they would vote for Obama and 46%, a plurality, preferred the second answer. 12% said they did not know or refused to answer.
While it has been apparent that Jewish support for Obama has eroded as his problems with handling Middle East issues, particularly in relation to Israel, continue, the poll results come as a stunner because 78% of Jewish-Americans, or close to 8 out of 10, voted for the Democrat in 2008.
The strongest anti-Obama groups within Jewish-Americans are Hassidic/Orthodox, who polled 69%-17%. Next came Conservative Jews (50%-38%), and then Jewish-Americans with family or friends living in Israel (50%-42%).
Reform Jews still support Obama by a slim margin of 52%-36%.
When asked if they approve of the job Obama is doing, Jewish-Americans voted in favor 50%-39%. Although this may seem good, pollsters at McLaughlin Group note that Jewish-Americans are 59% Democrat at 16% Republican.
A majority of 52% said they disapproved of the idea of the Obama Administration supporting a plan to recognize a Palestinian state within two years. 62% said that if given a state, “the Palestinians would continue their campaign of terror to destroy Israel.” Only 19% thought they would live peacefully with Israel.
