Obama Still Winning for U.S. Jews

Visit of U.S. Republican presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, to Israel on Sunday (7/29/2012) allegedly aiming for sympathy from the U.S. span class="fullpost"> Jewish voters, in the interest of the U.S. presidential election in November 2012. This is done in conjunction with a decrease in the Jewish voter support to U.S. President Barack Obama. However, Obama remains ahead for the U.S. Jewish voters. Thus written in the U.S. daily Miami Herald Monday's edition (07/30/2012). Obama lost some support from Jewish voters, but that due to economic reasons and not because of his policy toward Israel. Romney will not be able to achieve significant noise from U.S. Jews. "Many people are upset with the President, but I'll still vote for him," said Bernard Witkin (63), U.S. Jews to the Miami Herald. "I do not believe the right wing agenda and we do not agree with Republicans on social issues." Despite declining support, according to polls conducted by Gallup, Obama is still ahead of Romney in the opinion of the U.S. Jewish voters who have a share of 4 percent of the vote nationally and has a share of 8 percent of the vote in the State of Florida. Witkins added that Jewish voters are not too conservative is likely to switch to Romney. However, Obama still won 74 percent of the votes of U.S. Jews. It fell 3 percent compared with the support of the John Forbes Kerry, the Democratic U.S. presidential candidate in 2004, according to a non-partisan Solomon Project. U.S. Jews and the experts say, more liberal Jewish community and tend to vote Democrat and it has not changed much. This tendency is still strong in the last two decades. Isaac Choeff (60) who does not like Obama said the choice was still U.S. Jews as a whole remains unchanged. Ira Sheskin, a professor at the University of Miami is steeped in Jewish demography, said the Republicans were never successfully persuade Jewish voters.
