Republican Jewish Coalition Executive Director Matthew Brooks released the following statement today:  

The Gallup poll released earlier today is an extremely thorough survey of Jewish voters across the country. The results of the poll reinforce what we and others have been saying for some time, that many in the Jewish community are experiencing "buyer's remorse" with regard to their support for President Obama.  

Support for President Obama among Jewish voters is eroding at an significant rate. Since January, Obama's approval rating has collapsed from 83% to 64%, a 23% decline in support, with the trend line indicating a clear downward trajectory.  

Contrary to what Democratic spinmeisters would have you believe, there really can be no silver lining in these results to give comfort or joy to Democrats.
