Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) Executive Director Matt Brooks issued the followed statement this week:
“The just released Gallup poll of Jewish voters is another important indicator of the ongoing troubles Barack Obama has with Jewish voters. In the poll of Jewish voters (conducted April 1-30), it showed Obama getting only 61% of the Jewish vote against John McCain (32%). By comparison, in 2004, John Kerry received 75% of the Jewish vote and George W. Bush received 25%…This data comes on the heels of the exit poll data from the Democratic primary in Pennsylvania. Hillary Clinton beat Obama among Jewish voters 62% - 38%,” said Brooks. “These results show that the American Jewish community is troubled by what they know of Barack Obama, his views and his positions.”
Poll results from CNN-Time Election Exit Polls 1996 and CNN Election Poll results 2004.
