Orthodox Jews support Romney over Obama by 54 to 40 percent. Conservative Jews are 64 to 23 percent for Obama. Reform Jews are 68 to 23 percent for the incumbent. The "just Jewish" vote goes 68 to 19 percent for Obama.

In terms of age, support for Obama is quite consistent. In the 18-29 category, 65 percent support Obama and 26 percent are for Romney; among 30-44 year olds, it is 57 to 24 percent for Obama; among 45-59 year olds, it is 65 to 27 percent for Obama; and among those 60-plus, it is 68 to 22 percent for Obama.

By gender, Obama does better among Jewish women, 69 to 19 percent, than among men, 61 to 29 percent, against Romney.

not too long ago? Pres Obama's problem with Jewish Voters?..something like that? One of narratives for the so called "Enthusiasm Gap". They're so lame.

that Obama is against them, is a secret Arab muslim, and is on the side of muslims/Islamists/Arabs who want to destroy Israel. That is SO not true!
