About Politics

I've Been Thinking:

When it comes to elections:
sometimes the polls get things wrong
sometimes conventional wisdom is just wrong
sometimes it is just simply too confusing to understand

Right now I am puzzled by some of the polls and convinced of how others a simply wrong.

Gallup has a poll that was taken on October 24 of 500 Jewish likely voters.
The poll suggests that:
74 % of Jews over 55 are more likely to vote Obama.
67 % of Jews 35 and under said that they would vote Obama.

Older Jews are more likely to vote Obama than younger ones.

If Gallup is right, that's a real eye opener.
For months we have been hearing about how elderly Jews have been supporting McCain.

Or are the polls just wrong?
