Everyone said their guy was going to lose. Three-quarters of their fellow American Jews voted for the other candidate. But now, Jewish Trump voters are triumphant.
I was elated, said Jeff Bookman, 65, a jewelry seller from the heavily Jewish Cleveland suburb of Beachwood. [

I was so excited about the prospect of a Republican House, Senate and president with the opportunity, for the first time in memory, to implement conservative ideas, he said. For the free market to operate on its own will cure a lot of the ills of the economy, and a head-on confrontation with Islamic terror was essential for Israel as well as the U.S.

That would mean that the entire voting Jewish population of the USA was 400.

Family of 5 conservative, Trump-voting Christians (3 of whom are millennial) checking in here from Washington State! My wife was having coffee with a very liberal friend. The friend’s jaw dropped when my wife told her the news (two of them girls). “ALL of you!?” Shalom.

Coming from a gentile friend ... would you mind my referring to you as “True Jews?”

One hundred and one here. No, seriously, if you look at the voting statistics of my Orthodox Jewish community, which is more than 50,000 people, the voting went nearly 90% for Trump.

Add in my family including Iraq combat veteran son, veterans’ rights worker daughter, wife - daughter of Iwo Jima veteran, two Jewish Cats (Katzs), and myself - the wander Jew of Vietnam and Cambodia.
We had the first “Trump” stickers in Northern Virginia, home-made by a friend. Still on the car, next to the “Vietnam” sticker and “Support Our Troops” magnet sticker.
Daughter has the first one, next to her NRA membership decal and fiancé’s Marine Corp decal.
Nobody bothers us, and the Beware of K9 sign on our front fence lets people know that we can “take a bite out of crime”. Right next to the Vote Trump sign - stapled on and still there.

The article indicates 25 percent. Or so I’m presuming since they said 75 percent voted against Trump.

I know that is what the article said,
Just curious what the real tally was as there was talk of loads, I just don’t believe it.

The thing is no matter the number it is not large enough to make a difference. But without Jared Kushner we would be digging fallout bunkers in the basement about now.

All 100 of them.....
It appears that the percentage of Jews voting for Trump/Pence was 24%.
The 2016 presidential exit polling reveals little change in the political alignments of U.S. religious groups. Those who supported Republican candidates in recent elections, such as white born-again or evangelical Christians and white Catholics, strongly supported Donald Trump as well. Groups that traditionally backed Democratic candidates, including religious nones, Hispanic Catholics and Jews, were firmly in Hillary Clintons corner.
Religious observance is a key factor in support for Republicans, including among the Jews.
But within the U.S. Jewish community, one important subgroup clearly does not fit the picture of a relatively secular, liberal-leaning, aging population with small families. Unlike most other American Jews, Orthodox Jews tend to identify as Republicans and take conservative positions on social issues such as homosexuality. On average, they also are more religiously committed and much younger than other U.S. Jews, and they have bigger families.
This report uses data from the 2013 Pew Research Center Survey of U.S. Jews to look closely at the Orthodox. Information about Orthodox Jews was scattered throughout the initial survey report, A Portrait of Jewish Americans. It has been brought together here and supplemented with additional statistical analysis and more detailed charts and tables.
The 2013 survey found that Orthodox Jews make up about 10% of the estimated 5.3 million Jewish adults (ages 18 and older) in the United States.1 A survey is a snapshot in time that, by itself, cannot show growth in the size of a population. But a variety of demographic measures in the survey suggest that Orthodox Jews probably are growing, both in absolute number and as a percentage of the U.S. Jewish community.

This is a suspect statistic that could be way, way off. It all depends where the survey was done and who decided to answer. If they only polled reform synagogues in the rich suburbs of NJ, NY and Chicago this result makes sense.
