President Barack Obama is closing extending his lead with Jewish voters, leading among registered voters 70-25 percent according to unreleased Gallup daily tracking poll data .

The data, obtained through a Democratic source, shows Obama up from leading 64-29 in polling this spring — and on par with his 2008 performance at this point when he led 69-25 over John McCain in Gallup polling. The data is drawn from tracking polls taken between July 1 and September 10th.

Bibi Triples Down on Romney

The cauldron of Israeli politics has been swirling of late with the notion that Defense Minister Ehud Barak has put his chips (both for the future and with respect to Iran) on Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu has put his on Mitt Romney. And as the Prime Minister increasingly works to unseat President Obama, opposition leaders have started to ask who Bibi is more intent on ousting, Ahmadinejad or Obama?

Now comes word that Netanyahu will give an exclusive interview this weekend to Meet The Press, which gives you your answer. Netanyahu is tripling down on a Romney presidency and will do whatever he can to make it happen.

1. Let Bibi jump the shark by tying himself to Romney

if he's smart he'd start hedging his bets and get on better terms with Obama. He'll lose all leverage if these stunts don't work.

2. Imagine what the Repubs would say if the Democratics let their foreign policy be dictated by, uh

FOREIGNERS. The United States does not get scolded by other nations and BiBi needs to protect the interests of the Israelis - which isn't angering the American people. Does he not understand that American citizens do not want to go to war with Iran?

3. The people know that these wacko christains really don't like them but will defend them

because they are the chosen people. The america Jewish person that has any sense know the christains here want war. They know better. Honestly the more R&R talk the more they are digging their own graves. I've never seen people like this running for office that haven't got a clue. Last time I thought ok McCain was a gambler and took the empty dress Palin. But not 2 times in a row. Republicans need to take their party back. What little respect I had for Mittens is gone. They are nothing but liars.

4. another poll this week showed the opposite

It said Obama's support with Jewish voters is much lower than in 2008.

We seem to be getting some contradictory data on this subject so we'll want to know more in the weeks ahead to evaluate whether the Israel controversy is having an effect.

5. Doubt American Jews want their, and other., kids

dying in Iran. They also don't want to be USED for an agenda.

6. they will turn to Pat Buchanan on election day

just like 2000.
