The point of the article is Jewish support for Obama and the Democrats in general is dropping. The author uses poll results to make the point, illustrated with excellent graphics which compare how Obama is losing support in various subgroups including Jews. The article fails to make this point - and quotes various politicos like ex-Mayor Koch of NY to support the thesis, which is unsupported by data, that Obama is losing Jewish support because he is "harder on Israel" and trying to ingratiate himself with Arab countries. In fact, the U.S. continues to back Israel on every issue, whatever Israel does. I find the author disingenuous for failing to mention how the facts (as opposed to the rhetoric) back up his thesis.
