Is the Jewish Vote Really Up for Grabs?
This election year, Republicans are once again vying for Jewish voters, a historically Democratic demographic. But Politico‘s Charles Mahtesian sees “a difficult task” ahead for the GOP. He previews a new report from the Solomon Project, which shows Obama still enjoys a large support among Jewish voters. According to Mahtesian, the “numbers suggest that while Obama isn’t likely to hit his 2008 mark among Jews, the GOP isn’t exactly poised to make dramatic gains either.”
