Not so sure about that. NY District 9 is a great litmus test. Weiner's seat has been Democratic for nearly a CENTURY. His replacement in the special election is an Orthodox Jew. And he's running 6 points behind the GOP challenger.

I don't think District 9 is representative of other Jewish communities in the US. True, Obama will not get 78% of the Jewish vote again, but somewhere between 50-65%, which is unacceptable.
