Major Findings:

I. A plurality of Jewish voters would consider someone else for President.

According to the 2008 exit polls, Barack Obama won 78% to 21% among Jewish voters.

Now, in the second year of Obama's presidency, only 42% of voters would re-elect him,

while the plurality (46%) would consider voting for someone else.

Would you vote to re-elect Barack Obama as President or would you consider voting for someone else?

Re-Elect 42
Someone Else 46

II. A significant portion of Jewish voters disapprove of the President's handling

of relations with Israel.

Nearly four in ten Jewish voters (39%) disapprove of the job Barack Obama is doing

handling America's relations with

Israel. This rating is not good for a group of voters

who are 59% Democratic to only 16% Republican.

Palestinian state.

to recognize a Palestinian state within two years. The majority of voters (64%) says that

Jerusalem should remain the undivided capital of Israel, while only 13% say that the

United States should force Israel to give up parts of Jerusalem to the Palestinians. Six in

ten voters (62%) say that the Palestinians would continue their campaign of terror to

destroy Israel if they were given a Palestinian state, while only 19% say they would live
