Obama is the most Jewed-out President in history, but Jew support for the Top Neg is finally starting to drop.
To be clear, he is still extremely popular among Jews.
For the first quarter of 2015, 54% of American Jews approved of the job Barack Obama is doing as president, compared with an average of 46% among all Americans. That eight-percentage-point gap is lower than the average 13-point gap seen so far throughout Obama’s term in office, and is representative of a general narrowing of Obama’s Jewish advantage over the last nine months.
A possible weakening of U.S. Jewish support for Obama has been the focus of news media attention in recent months. The administration has embarked on a controversial effort to broker a nuclear agreement with Iran, Israel’s longtime avowed enemy, which may have offended some American Jews who see their president as siding more with Iran than with Israel. Adding to the tension, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who strongly opposes a nuclear deal with Iran, got a chilly reaction from the White House when Speaker of the House John Boehner invited him to address Congress last month.
In a broad sense, Jewish support for Obama has followed the general trajectory of approval among all Americans since the president took office in January 2009 — dropping from the initially high “honeymoon” approval ratings in 2009, rising in early 2012 and immediately after his re-election in November 2012, dropping in late 2013 and again last year, and then gaining for the first three months of 2015.
