Your add-on to the title in parentheses (Jews to become GOP NYC Voting Bloc), though I wish it were true, is rather premature at this point.

What the study indicates are demographic trends some people here have been picking up on for some time. These trends appear to be favorable to the GOP in NY State (the survey takes in some NYC suburbs as well). A significant movement to the GOP by the state's Jewish voters could happen, but one necessary factor will be for the state and local GOP parties to actively cultivate and organize the potential vote here. This article should serve as wake-up call to them. But unfortunately, for the better part of a decade now, the New York state Republican organization seems to have been missing in action, generally speaking.

... and why not? Like establishment Republicans everywhere, they have their safe seats, their lucrative sinecures, more than their fair share of the swag from Albany and DC, and no responsibility beyond making suitably harrumphing Republican noises every once in a while. Hardly the stuff of revolution.

As far as cultivating that 'potential' within orthodox communities goes, in the establishment Republican computer, the perceived effort may not justify the perceived results in any race they care about. The numbers are not that great.
