Where is the Jewish-American vote?
We've heard a lot about the African American vote, the Hispanic Vote and the Female vote, but very little about the trend of the Jewish American vote...

Does anyone have figures for the Jewish-American vote in America?

Below is the closet I've got, which shows a trend in Clintons favour in Israel.



Israeli Americans vote Clinton, but Obama wins global primary

In Israel, which is home to an estimated 200,000 U.S. citizens, Hillary received 54 percent of the total vote among members of Democrats Abroad. Obama captured 45 percent of the vote in Israel.

In the global race though, Obama captured 66 percent, compared to Clinton's 33 percent.

I would imagine that Clinton has a bunch on her side as well, but that's just a guess.

3. Clinton, Obama Closely Matched Among Jewish Democrats
http://www.gallup.com/poll/105595/Clinton-Obama-Closely-Matched-Among-Jewish-Democrats.aspx

PRINCETON, NJ -- Jewish Democratic voters show a slight preference for Hillary Clinton (48%) over Barack Obama (43%) for the party's 2008 presidential nomination. The five-point Clinton advantage is within the margin of error for this sample of Jewish Democrats.

This blurb from Gallup doesn't break down the Jewish vote by age, but I would be shocked if it doesn't break down the same way as all other groups, with younger Jews preferring Obama and older Jews preferring Clinton.

4. 60 prominent Pennsylvanian Jewish leaders endorsed Obama a few days ago.
There was a thread about it.

Here is Pittsburgh, the predominantly Jewish neighborhood of Squirrel Hill has a volunteer led call center that is taking place in the home of an Orthodox Jewish family. I think he is making progress among Jewish people who realize that any conflicts in the middle east (ie Iran) put Israel at a more and more vulnerable place.

That's all I've got. I'll look for the thread on the big endorsement.
