You're missing a number of movements in the poll, such as Reconstructionist and Liberal movements. Judaism isn't cleanly divided into Orthodox, Conservative and Reform--Those three are not the only denominations. That and really no one considers "Messianic Jews" to actually be Jews, so they're not really a denomination--They're Christians and don't belong on this poll.

Anyone who accepts that Yeshua is (or was) the Messiah is a Christian... "Messianic Jew" is just a silly term a few Jews that converted to Christianity came up with in a vain attempt to be connected with their heritage after disowning themselves from it. You'd have a tremendous amount of trouble finding anyone who is Jewish who considers "Messianic Jews" to actually be legitimate Jews... If you're going to completely give up your religion and your heritage, you can't go back and say it's yours--You can't have both ways. "Messianic Jews" are an illustration of this disparity--People who want to be connected with a heritage they've personally rejected.
