Article with headline “Gallup Poll: Jewish Support for Obama Plummets” leads as follows:
“In the first significant drop in Jewish support for a Democratic Party candidate in over two decades, President Barack Obama has seen a 10-point plunge in support among Jewish voters, according to the Gallup polling agency.”
WATCHDOG: However, closing paragraphs disclose:
“A recent poll by the liberal Jewish Workman’s Circle has shown even worse numbers for Obama, yet how the numbers are to interpreted depends on the interpreters. Some Democrats see the latest Gallup poll as a sign Obama’s support among Jews is now rising, reports Arutz Sheva, an Israeli national news website.
“And the Gallup numbers were actually up from a 61-28 margin found by an American Jewish Committee survey from March of this year.”
So is Jewish support “plummeting” or on the rise? That support is off 10% is newsworthy, but that support “plummets” is a bit of wishful thinking given the facts. Growl.
