| Description | Here's an interesting finding from Gallup pollsters: Almost as many Jewish voters say they would vote for Barack Obama for president against John McCain as say they would vote for Hillary Clinton in a matchup against the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
According to Gallup, 61% of Jewish voters surveyed said they'd vote for Obama in the general election, versus 32% who say they'd vote for McCain.
That compares with 66% of Jewish voters who said they'd vote for Clinton to the 27% who said they'd vote for McCain
Gallup suggested the poll indicated that Obama hasn't been noticeably hurt by his past relationship with his former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., who has spoken positively of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and has rebuked Israel for the plight of Palestinians. |
