One thing I admire about Jews living in the US is that most know a better life for their children goes hand and hand with improving society as a whole. They want to be able andwalk down the street with prosperous educated people.
Not the dog eat dog right wing system that says I win if you lose..
This is why Jews in the US are so supportive of Arts, and Humanities and Public 'Education.
I can't imagine why Jews would support Obama, when he doesn't support Israel. Something is fishy here. Are you sure what you wrote is what was stated in this story?
There are 34 Jews in Congress. Only one (Eric Cantor) is Republican.
Regarding the accuracy of the OP, it depends if you believe polls like Gallup and publications like the Jerusalem Post.

Me and my Jewish friends are still not buying any of Obama's hope and change....btw millions didn't vote for Obama, many of them are Jewish
It's hard to say. According to the polls, Obama got somewhere between 70-75% of the Jewish vote in Nov. However, that seems very high to me. I mean, less than 2% of the population is Jewish, so that means exit polls would need to be held in predominantly Jewish neighborhoods (just to speak to enough voters) which would obviously slant the outcome. What I mean is that, if you go to a Jewish area in New York or Palm Beach County FL you will be talking to mostly Democrats anyway, Jewish or not. So it's possible that a lot of Jewish people have never been polled.
I apologize for 3 consecutive posts. I usually quote comments and answer them in one post, although I'm not sure if that really matters.

I think what the statistic means is that of the Jewish people polled, 70-75% voted for Obama.

Btw I was polled by the Dem...but I guess they didn't count me since I told them I'm a Rep.
