(Jewish Group) New Poll: Jewish Voters Overwhelmingly Support & Trust Kamala Harris, Oppose & Distrust Donald Trump

[Behind the Aegis]

A new national poll of Jewish voters finds overwhelming support for Vice President Kamala Harris. Less than two months until the election, 72% of Jewish voters back Kamala Harris, while only 25% support Donald Trump in a head-to-head matchup. Nearly all – 91% – of Jewish voters are concerned about antisemitism in the United States, and Jewish voters trust Kamala Harris more than Donald Trump to fight antisemitism by nearly a three-to-one margin (60% – 23%). Harris’s lead over Trump by a 47-point margin (72% – 25%) is an improvement from Biden’s 41-point margin among Jewish voters in April (67% – 26%) when compared to an April poll of Jewish voters conducted by the Jewish Electorate Institute (JEI).

This is a reminder: don't believe the anti-Semitic hype that is out there and be prepared to defend Jews, even after a Harris win!

1. I've been seeing a Trump commercial lately.

Three older women in a booth at a restaurant, discussing how awful Harris is and how wonderful Trump is. The three women sound like the worst kind of Jewish grandma stereotype. One of them says "Oy, vey".

This ad is another example of Trumps campaign throwing everything at the wall, to see if something sticks.

2. Sid Rosenberg has been pushing the meme that only "good Jews" will vote for Trump.

Everyone else is a self-hating Jew, hates Israel, loves HAMAS, etc.

3. Court Jews exist on both sides of the aisle.

They are equally disgusting.

4. I don't expect this news to end, or affect in any way, the antisemitic tropes from the left.

The idiocy of Netanyahu's land grab and killing Gazans so Kushner can have his hotels built in Khan Yunis will continue unabated. We will still be the Zionist apartheid advocates bent on genocide who are unwelcome on college campuses, and books by Jewish authors will still be banned by now overtly antisemitic publishers (https://jewishinsider.com/2024/11/petition-jewish-writers-palestinian-festival-of-literature-israel/)

In recent decades, between 20 percent and 30% of American Jews have supported Republicans in national elections. The GOP hit a high-water mark in 1980 when Ronald Reagan won some 40% of Jewish votes, but the more typical split makes Jews among the most reliably Democratic demographics in the United States.

But this year, with some Jews feeling alienated from the left and others all-in on the right due to Israel, some speculated that Trump could post an unusually strong showing among Jewish voters.

Initial polls suggest that is not the case. The National Election Pool, which produces an exit poll for a consortium of major news organizations, found that 79% of Jews said they voted Democratic, compared to 21% who voted Republican.

Edison Research, which conducts the national pool poll, surveyed voters in 10 states: Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin. (It did not survey voters in New York or California, which are home to the largest Jewish populations and also reliably vote Democratic by wide margins.)
