[UJA]

• More polls: Analysis of polling data shows that the economy was the biggest reason why Jewish voters overwhelmingly supported President Barack Obama in the last election. Specific economic issues like poverty and Medicare were also reported to be factors within the broad economic concern. [JTA]

• The Times reports on the apathy of Arab voters in Israel, which, if mobilized, could form the the second-largest party in Israel. [NYT]
