Monday Afternoon Jewish Political News Update 9/26/11

Gaffe Machine Obama was again in moition. This time it was two days ago when he said, “If asking a billionaire to pay the same tax rate as a Jew — as a janitor — makes me a warrior for the working class, I wear that as a badge of honor.”

Perry is a real friend of the Orthodox Jewish Community as seen from a video dated December 2010 when the Governor, a month after winning another term and with no need to kiss up to anyone, joined in a dance following a Hanukah Lighting at the Governor’s Mansion.

Obama’s approval is down 12% among Jews compared to a year ago, but Obama is down in all other groups too since a year ago, so no need to get excited about this. Besides, the economy may be a strong factor: For example, only 37% Jewish adults approve now how Obama handles the economy, but a year ago 55% approved.

Yeshiva World News reviewed some numbers of the poll. Surprise… a solid majority of Orthodox Jews – who didn’t vote for Obama in the first place – disapprove of the president’s work.
