<<National polls show Mr. Obama and the presumptive Republican candidate, Arizona Sen. John McCain, running neck-and-neck. In Maryland, where Democrats outnumber Republicans 2-to-1, there is every expectation that Mr. Obama will win.

Whether he can take the Jewish vote, which represents 6 percent of the state’s 2.8 million registered voters, is another story.

Over the last four presidential elections, the Jewish vote nationwide has averaged 79 percent for the Democratic candidate. Bill Clinton and Al Gore each reportedly got 80 percent in their respective runs; John Kerry, 75 percent in 2004. In polls last spring, Mr. Obama tallied between 61 and 58 percent. Among religious Jews, Mr. Obama and Mr. McCain were evenly split.>>
