Now that you know he will win with or without jewish votes time to make it look like you still matter.

Sarah B., ,   NY/Tel Aviv   (09.15.12)

66. If You have a concern about Obamas position on Israel
Galut ia ,   Selah   (09.15.12)
Share it every time you get a chance on ALL the social media sites you can...and with your e-mail list.... Obama is no friend to Israel ...he has already assued Putin and Hamas that he will get tough with Israel if he is re-elected ...and the RED line issue high lites that point. you can make a difference by informing your Jewish friends

69. obama
michelle ,   wilmette, usa   (09.15.12)

Alex the Great ,   Texas, USA   (09.15.12)
Hard to believe where i stand, certainly not true among Jews I know and respect. More likely media manipulation. We heard the same false polls during mid term elections before republican to control of House and came damn close to taking Senate, and during exit polls when Bush ran against Gore. Herr Obama is going down!!!
71. The United States
gft ,   new york, ny   (09.15.12)
The US dosne't owe Israel anything, and Israel is acting like a child that isn't gettin it's way with its parent. We have coddled Israel too long. There 5-6M jews in America, and about 14M Muslims. Q-Why have Jews had so much control over US policy? A-Because they have done well financially here(to their credit, hard working people who save), but they influence America's policy towards Israel with their money through lobbyists. Enough of them already! I support Obama with his postion towards Israel!
72. American Jews
Steve Goodman ,   Israel   (09.15.12)
Just goes to prove how ignorant of the situation most American Jews are
73. #47 sigh
Moshe of Rockville ,   Rockville,MD USA   (09.15.12)
Sorry to disabuse you,but the Gallup poll is well-respected for its accuracy. If this poll had only polled the pro-Obama people, the % would have been 100%.
74. #54 B Shimpshon
Moshe of Rockville ,   Rockville,MD USA   (09.15.12)
Gallup is a well-recognized and well-distinguished polling group.Overpolling Democrats is only done in your own mind; same with the underpolling of independents. Have a Happy and Healthy 5773.
75. Fools
Dwolf ,   San Jose ca   (09.16.12)
We US Jews are complete fools. After the DNC convention can there really be any doubt as to the danger of this party? To so many Jews the democratic party is their religion. Utterly self-defeating.
76. Polls not correct
Reuvain ,   Usa   (09.16.12)
The Gallop Poll does not take into consideration the rage numbers of Orthodox that are Romney supporters. They tend to concentrate in high density in specific neighborhoods. The polls do not reflect this. They take nationwide samples without offsetting this very significant demographic.
77. US Jews support Obama. In other news: The sky is blue
Dan ,   NJ USA   (09.16.12)
78. 70% of Jews support Ahmadinejad
Israeli Texan   (09.16.12)
One can make this assumption based on some slight reasoning.
79. Self-hating fools
Reuven   (09.16.12)
80. Stupid Jews
A.C.guard ,   USA   (09.16.12)
American Jews don't care about Israel. They care about being seen as socially liberal and that means supporting a black candidate/president, it means they maintain their parents and grandparents socialist/communist views and it means they are weak. They wouldn't put their hands up to fight for themselves, do you think they care about Israel's fight. Of course not.
81. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS POLL
Kayla ,   FL   (09.16.12)
82. Moshe of Rockville Gallup is consistently bottom third
B Shimpshon   (09.16.12)
In terms of accuracy according to Rasmussen. The New Year is a good time to start fresh and vote for a proven leader who was ran one of the most successful private equity firms in the world. Shana Tova.
83. I'm not voting for Obama
Ezra ,   San Diego USA   (09.16.12)
The big problem is he's bankrupting the government. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem in a banana-republic. But when the international community buys oil in U.S. dollars, the U.S. has a responsibility to be fiscally solvent. It's THAT important. I also know Obama's character is narcissistic. I've watched him distance himself from issues without taking any responsibility for them. Case in point: The case of his mentor Rev. Jeremiah Wright was "Guilt By Association" according to Obama. He has little allegiance to anything or anyone.
84. to #8
al ,   canada   (09.16.12)
Don't be so smug. Americans are not the independent thinkers you might want to believe. They get their news from very few sources, and are largely ignorant and uncaring about what happens outside the U.S. . Besides that, all media all around the world are biased, and most people can't see that bias. So it's just a matter of who gets to influence your thinking and views.
85. thanks ynet for posting this on Shabbat
Avi ,   nyc   (09.16.12)
so that observant Jews could not respond. while non observant Jews worship the abortion clinic, the vast majority of committed Jews will vote Romney.
86. They must have conducted the poll at
AK   (09.16.12)
Obama's fundraizer. I just read that only 52% of Jews support Obama. Granted, 52% is far too many, but it is not 70%.
87. #8 Michael, lest you forgot
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (09.16.12)
Jews voted for Carter, that too was a disaster. They had also voted for FDR, who refused to bomb the German rail lines that might have prevented some of our Jews reaching the extermination camps for the Final Solution Tell your buddy Obama that he shouldn't interfere is Israeli politics, as he did when demanded that Israel must return to the pre-1967 lines (old Green lines) which had proven itself to be useless no matter what name they called it
88. Gallup Polls have one major fault
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (09.16.12)
They don't survey an equal amount of each party It usually works out that more democRATS are interviewed than members of the other parties. Their polling is skewed as a result
89. Us American Jews are...
sheik rattle & roll ,   USA   (09.16.12)
American period and end of story. When Israeli's vote, do they vote for American interest or Israeli interest? Another point is why are Israeli's interfering or trying to manipulate our elections? Any American should be outraged at the actions of BIBI. When Obama wins the re-election he will not forget the betrayel and back stabbing that BIBI tried to perpetrate on him, and us Americans regardless of religion or political affiliation will support him.
90. #34 is not mine
