Obama Losing Jews?

American Jews are historically among the most reliable supporters of the Democratic Party. On the other hand, a number of well-respected Jewish columnists have written less-than-flattering articles about the Obama policy with respect to Israel.

I've been wondering when this disapproval would show up in opinion polling; now it has. In this Quinnipiac Poll, the following question was posed (scroll down):

Do you approve or disapprove of the way Barack Obama is handling the situation between Israel and the Palestinians?

Jews responded 28% Approve and 67% Disapprove. On the other hand, 55% of these same respondents said they approved of the way Obama was handling foreign policy. Go figure.
