Charlie, how do they know? Unlike Chassidim, MO Jews live in mixed neighborhoods.I do not know about Teaneck (although I suspect that followers of Rabbi Pruzansky would not have voted for Obama) but I do know that Riverdale is a very liberal neighborhood. It is probable that even if the MO Jews there voted for Romney (who, BTW, was not seen as a conservative) they would have been overwhelmingly outvoted. As for exit polls, even in a scientific poll there is a four percent margin for error. Moreover, it would necessarily be people who self-identified as MO even if objectively they are Conservadox.
