Obama’s Approval Rating Drops Among Jews

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

President Barack Obama lost some support from Jewish Americans during June from May — 8 percentage points to be exact. But he still has strong backing in that demographic — a 60 percent approval rating in June, according to a new Gallup poll.

And the 60 percent figure represents a statistically insignificant change from his April approval rating of 64 percent. Still, 32 percent of U.S. Jews now disapprove of Obama’s job performance, compared to the average of 30 percent so far this year.
