Galllup is an overrated, moronic organization

Here's the graph of how Jewish voters supported Obama vs. McCain in 2008:



As you can see, Jewish voters warmed up to the Democrat as the election neared.

But Gallup had an idiot called Jeffrey M. Jones say that Obama is down among Jews because as of today (June, 2012) his Jewish support is 64% compared to 74% in October, 2008.

JONES: "Among Jews, Obama's current 64% to 29% advantage compares with a 74% to 23% advantage before the election in 2008. Thus, he is running 10 points lower among Jewish registered voters than in 2008,"

But if Jones compared apples vs. apples, he would have said that Obama's support is unchanged now relative to the same time-period in 2008.
Jones did not consider the possibility that Jewish voters warm up to the Democrat at the end of the campaign. He said nothing at all about the Gallup poll of June, 2008. This is without surprise the MSM's favorite polling organiztion. The Gallup chief Frank Newport, who is another moron, should hire good journalists.
