Survey: 62% of U.S. Jews would reelect Obama, 4% say Israel is most important issue

The survey gives a decisive answer as to how important Israel is for the Jewish voters this time round: Not very. Only 4% define it as „the most important issue“ influencing their vote. The economy is the top issue for 51%, while for 15% of respondents, the most important issue is the „growing gap between the rich and poor.“
