Obama Concerned About Jewish Poll Numbers

Klein believes the presidential hopeful is concerned about a recent poll which finds that only 50 percent of Jewish voters indicate they will vote for the Democrat. "American Jewish voters traditionally vote Democrat," the journalist points out. "Actually 80 percent of American Jews voted for Al Gore, [and] 83 percent voted for John Kerry -- so the figures that only 50 percent so far support Obama are quite staggering," he adds.

According to Klein, many Israelis are also concerned about Obama's stated policies concerning the Middle East.

Jewish Voters Cause Obama Jitters

A lackluster turnout of Jewish Democrats would hurt Obama badly. And even a low double digit defection of Jewish Democrats to McCain in the absolute must win swing states of Florida and Pennsylvania would spell disaster or worse for Obama. The weakness and danger is real. A May Gallup Poll found that while Obama got the majority of Jewish votes he still did far worse poll wise than John Kerry did in the 2004 presidential election among Jewish voters. And, of course, he got far fewer Jewish votes than Clinton in the primaries.
