John McCain isn’t the favorite among Jewish voters, but he is the most popular Republican presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan.

Is this further evidence of the continuing rise of Republican Jews or an anomaly sparked by all the fear that Obama would be bad news for Israel, the sacred cow for religious Jewish voters?
