[Re Netanyahu] Way to go advancing the peace process, moron. That is what the retards are selling.You guys are so clueless, you`re believing your own fantasies. Here, is the truth. http://jstreet.org/blog/american-jews-continue-to-back-president-obama-us-engagement-in-israeli-palestinian-conflict/ Washington—Support for both President Barack Obama and for US leadership to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict remains robust among American Jews, according to a new poll. The poll, released today by J Street—the pro-Israel, pro-peace movement — found that the President’s job approval rating (60 percent) remains unchanged since the organization’s last national poll in November 2010. These findings mirror a June 2011 Gallup poll that gave the President a 60 percent job approval rating among Jews. Gallup polls over the past two and a half years have consistently found that Jewish support for President Obama is 14 percentage points higher than that of the general population. In head-to-head match-ups with leading Republican candidates Michelle Bachmann and Mitt Romney, Obama gets 67 percent and 63 percent of the vote, respectively. These results are comparable to the results from the July 2008 J Street survey, which showed Obama leading John McCain 62 to 32 percent among Jews in an election he ultimately won with 78% of the Jewish vote. President Obama’s lead this early in the run-up to the presidential race likely understates his expected vote from American Jews in the 2012 election. In pre-election polls, voters tend to show lower levels of support for their party’s candidates than on Election Day. When undecided voters are allocated based on party identification, the “simulated vote” shows Obama beating Romney 70 to 27 percent and Bachmann by a margin of 73 to 23 percent, according to this new survey. The survey reveals that American Jews strongly oppose conservative alternatives to President Obama and the Democratic Party. Prominent figures and institutions associated with conservative American politics have almost no traction among American Jews. Favorable views of Glenn Beck among American Jews surveyed stands at 10 percent, versus 66 percent with an unfavorable view; the Tea Party movement is viewed favorably by 12 percent, versus 74 percent unfavorable; the Republican Party is viewed favorably by 18 percent of American Jews, with 67 percent having an unfavorable view.
