Jewish Democrats Claim Kamala Beats Trump 68%-25%; 85% of Orthodox Jews Disapprove of Biden

Joel B. Pollak 9 Sep 2024

A poll released Monday by the Jewish Democratic Council of America claims that Vice President Kamala Harris will win over two-thirds of the Jewish vote, while former President Donald Trump will only win one in four Jewish votes, suggesting Democrats have not lost Jewish support.

There has been speculation that Jewish voters might shift Republican, due to perceptions that the Biden-Harris administration had handled Israel poorly, and the fact that they have presided during a shocking rise in antisemitism.

Jewish voters are typically too small in number to make much of a difference in presidential elections, though they may have tipped the balance in Florida in 2000 (by voting, incorrectly, for Pat Buchanan on a faulty ballot in Palm Beach County). They could also play a role in swing states like Pennsylvania, where the result is expected to be close.

The Jewish Democratic Council of America — which held an event at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, last month, at which it attempted to blame “Christian Nationalism” for antisemitism — claimed that the poll results showed that American Jews “are preparing to play a critical role in defeating [Trump] in November.”

The poll, overall, found that 68% of registered Jewish voters, in a sample of 800 self-identified Jews, interviewed August 27 to September 1, planned to vote for Harris, versus 25% of registered voters who preferred Trump.

That result likely understates Trump’s support, which broke 30% in 2020, and which will likely be higher in 2024 — though not as high as 50%, a number derived from a small sample (100) in a recent poll including Jewish voters in New York.

More notably, the poll did not state whether those voters for whom Israel is the most important issue prefer Kamala Harris or Donald Trump. The slides do not consider that issue, and the polling website does not provide crosstabs.

It seems odd to me. It has to be a matter of habit and family identity...not of policy.

My step mother was a die hard Dem...but when I asked her why (wading into a mine field, lol) she just said.."Because I'm a Democrat". No real reason.

For some people, politics has as much depth as rooting for a sports team.

Jews supporting and voting for Islam and institutionalized antisemitism is not completely a bad thing.
Stupid idiot American Jews are going to 'vote' themselves into oblivion. As they have done many times in history.
