Jews back Obama over McCain by 61 percent to 32 percent, according to a new Gallup poll. No surprise that they back Clinton over McCain by a higher margin, but it’s not that much higher: 66 percent to 27 percent. I predict that come November, McCain will draw no more than 30 percent of the Jewish vote against Obama.

Bush drew against John Kerry in 2004.
