Obama More Popular With Jews Than Lieberman

By Kleinheider Posted on July 22, 2008 at 8:31 am

From the Huffington Post:

If Barack Obama has a problem among Jewish voters, then Sen. Joseph Lieberman is in monumental trouble.

Among the most high-profile Jews in Congress, Lieberman is viewed far more unfavorably than the presumptive Democratic nominee, according to a new poll. Only 37 percent of Jews view the Connecticut Independent in a favorable light compared to 48 percent who have a negative perception. As for Obama, 60 percent of Jews view him favorably while 34 percent view him unfavorably.

The findings were released as part of a recent survey of American Jews by the new progressive pro-Israel group J Street. They seem to upturn some of this year’s conventional political wisdom.

    Baruch Hershel Obamawitz is a real mensch. Joe LIEberman is a world-class schmuck and a shande far di goyim.

    Since Lieberman easily won his last election, how many of those that voted for him were Jews?

    I’m not sure, but for what it’s worth, Obama won the Jewish vote in Connecticut by almost 61-38.

    In all likelihood, the majority probably went for Lieberman in 2006. But the 2008 results indicate that even more people in CT have soured on Lieberman in the last two years.
