In the first significant drop in Jewish support for a Democratic Party
candidate in over two decades, President Barack Obama has seen a
10-point plunge in support among Jewish voters, according to the Gallup
polling agency.
To put the decline in perspective, Obama is pulling in the same support among Jews as Michael Dukakis, the former Massachusetts governor who lost to George H. W. Bush in 1988.
Gallup notes the 10-point drop is "five points worse than his decline among all registered voters compared with 2008.”
