Orthodox Jews, concentrated in the northeastern states, vote about 2 to 1 for Conservatives and Republicans.
However, from memory, Orthodox Jews only make up about 10% of American Jews.
Also, Orthodox Jews are not a perfect political fit with American Conservatism.
They use public welfare programs at a higher than average rate in America and Israel.
And, at least in Israel, most Orthodox Jews hold the very controversial point of view that they should not be required to join the military.
Right. I think within any group, those who are most observant/rigorous about their faith tend to vote more conservatively.
I’m not even sure if the Amish or old order Mennonites vote at all or which side they tend to vote for if they do vote. But they do live in the country at a very high%, so it’s plausible that the general rural/urban split might be at least some sort of factor with them. Like I said, I don’t know of any other group that lives in urban areas at such high % as Jews. You would think that it might be at least part of the reason with why they tend to vote the way they do.
