Obama Builds Bigger Lead Among Jews
President Barack Obama’s lead over Republican challenger Mitt Romney among Jewish voters is growing recent unreleased Gallup daily tracking poll data reported on Buzzfeed.com.
According to the polling data taken between July 1 and September 10th, 70 percent of registered Jewish voters plan to vote for President Obama. Only 25 percent of voters stated they were planning to vote for Mitt Romney, with 5 percent undecided. These results indicate a decline from earlier this spring, when 64 percent of registered Jewish voters said they would vote for Obama and 29 percent said they would support his Republican contender.
The data Buzzfeed.com obtained from Democratic sources has a margin of error of 4 percent. If the poll data faithfully predicts the real voting data, the Jewish support for Obama would be more or less equivalent to the support the Jewish community give in 2008.
