President Obama enjoys staunch support from U.S. Jews — much higher than what he earns from Catholics and Protestants, particularly with regard to non-Hispanic whites. This confirms what Gallup found during the 2008 presidential election campaign, when Jews overwhelmingly indicated they were voting for Obama over John McCain. Jews’ support for Obama as president has not remained at the lofty 83% level seen in January, but, at 64%, it is still high — and has descended merely on par with the decline seen among the public at large.
