American Jews come to about 500K votes in FLA. This survey, taken before the platform blunder, would suggest 50K of those moving away from Obama. Probably worse today than yesterday.

FLA in 2008 went for Obama by 200K votes. 50K American Jews alone doesn't change the outcome but it is a significant down payment.

===========

Tracking from June 1 - June 26 found that Jewish registered voters favored Obama over his Republican challenger by 68 percent to 25%. This represents similar support levels as the last Gallup poll, taken in April-June 2012, which found that 64% of Jews supported Obama while 29% supported Romney.

Though still overwhelmingly Democrat, US Jewish support for the the US president has dropped significantly since 2008 levels. The most recent Gallup poll shows a 12% decrease since since 2008 levels, when 74% of registers Jews supported Obama against then-Republican candidate John McCain.
