Why Jews Won't Abandon Obama

@Lawrence;
I’ve seen that pattern in Western Europe too. Most of the congregations there, however, are Orthodox/ Modern Orthodox, and many of them are non-Ashkenazi, with demographics similar to what goes on in Israel.
Paris and London, however, do host a significantly vocal infestation of leftist stinkbugs, a.k.a. Court Jews, but these are never seen at congregational events since their presence therein could cause significant, er, geological instability.

Since I am trying to assess what’s lost and what’s left, could you please recommend me a link to North American Jewry statistics?
I’d like to find out what goes on with the denominational distribution in relation with political affiliation, and why the non-Ashkenazim in the US are so silent and discreet (The Montreal Moroccans - less so: they’re here in numbers and I can easily ask someone about anything I’d like to know). I’ve heard about the Esfahanis in LA and the ‘Adanis in NY, fr’instance, but could never find anything worth reading by or about them.
