For those of us in the business of talking about political trends for a living, the Pew Research Centers latest deep dive into the politics of demography is a must-bookmark post.
Pew looked into the polling data from 1992 to today and found that the Republican Party is in no better shape than it was 23 years ago. Overall, the number of respondents who identify as Republican is down 5 points since 1992 while Democratic identification is virtually static. When those who lean one way or the other are included, 39 percent self-identify as Republicans and 48 percent as Democratic a slight correction favoring Republicans from the nadir of GOP self-identification in 2008.
Demographically, the conventional wisdom which holds that the GOP is behind the eight ball when it comes to appealing to minority groups is confirmed by Pews data. African-Americans, Asians, and Hispanics all continue to self-identify as Democrats more than Republicans by over 30 points. Women with post-graduate degrees and the religiously unaffiliated also identify most strongly as Democrats.
On the GOP side, whites, religiously affiliated whites — Mormons, evangelicals, and protestants — and southerners demonstrate the strongest pro-Republican tilt. Generationally, the GOP enjoys a 4-point advantage among those age 69 to 86 while Democrats have a 16-point advantage with millennials age 18 to 33.

Then indeed, theyvare damming themselves.
What do they not see?
Despite GOP Hostility To Enforcement of Immigration Laws, Citizens Still Hold Their Noses For Them
Most live in the NY metro area, and, like most Noo Yaukers are indoctrinated, provincial and oblivious.
RE: What do they not see?
Many people assume that just because someone is Jewish, they automatically support anyone who supports the nation of Israel.
That assumption, based on my own experience with LOTS of secular Jews, is WRONG.
Israel is of secondary or little importance to most Jews in America. LIBERALISM is what they want.
Exactly discussed on Fox (or Newsmax) yesterday.
For the record, Michael Medved likes to say though, that Jews who actually attend services, there is much more support of the Republicans.
There must be a stat for that.
Until the persecution of the Jews began in Germany under Hitler, most Jews were all for him.
As of current? Ovens.
American Jews are liberals first and foremost. Israel is a faraway, peripheral issue to them. What comes first is getting democrats elected.
Warning
this Noah at Hotgas is a DC K street troll and hates conservatives
His hatred of Cruz and cinservatives is well documented on twitter
Hotgas is a Rhino owned website
Clue-
They hate Bibi more than they love Israel.
He’s destroying their home land America. And he’s trying to destroy their historic home land (Promised Land) israel too. Yet some Jews remain blind to the danger. A little bit like in Europe in the 1930’s — some saw the writing on the wall and got out ( to israel or america etc ). Others were blind to what was happening - and got Transformed into lamp shades Hard to figure why the difference
“What do they not see?”
They see very well. Most people don’t know but the jews
that came over here to escape the holocaust were died in
the wool socialists and were escaping persecution not
socialism. They remained devout socialists and started
the socialist movement in America. They are the root and
established the foothold of socialism/communism in this
country. McCarthy was right. Democrats and establishment
republicans are socialists.
Just remember, a lot of the Jews live in New York City, so that majority is probably strongly Democratic except for maybe the Orthodox Jews and then, in the rest of the Nation, they are probably strongly Democratic as well but don’t have the same numbers as NYC.
I assume this, so you know what they say about that.
It is more accurate to say that Jews were super patriotic Germans than that they supported Hitler. They had some idea of what Hitler was up to.
That was the German Jews, but most American Jews supported Obama as Ben Shapiro explains: Why Jews vote Leftist.
"If the Jews are the Democratic party at prayer, then the feminists are the Democratic party in drag."
Norman Podhoretz
Would you say that is a slight generalization? Further, many Jews vote Republican but wouldn’t let anyone in their family know. How many Christians are Democrats?

The TRUTH
Sad but true, some American Jews have been instrumental in supporting abortion rights in America. Just look at Planned Parenthood’s research arm, the “Guttmacher Institute”, Betty Friedan and others formed some abortion rights organization. Bernard Nathanson was one but he became a Pro-Lifer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Nathanson
