Gallup polls have released polls over the last couple of weeks showing Obama support rising faster than 2008 levels. In 2008, Obama received an estimated 78% of the vote, growing from 66% in a Gallup poll taken in the August before the election, rising to 69% in September. The Jerusalem Post reported an unreleased Gallup poll in September showing 70% American Jewish support for Obama (an AJC poll reported 65% support, putting it within the margin of error of the 2008 poll). What is even more telling is that Romney remains mired at 24% with undecided voters leaning toward Obama 63-27. The Jewish Republican vote in this country is estimated to be around 24%. UPDATE: AJC just released two polls showing Obama leading amongst Jews in Florida 69-25 and in Ohio 64-29. Read more
