I don’t believe it.

They will still vote for (and pay for) Democrats.

My own guess: Harry Truman has decades' worth of coattails.

It predates Truman. Earliest statistics I've seen were for 1916, Wilson (D) had 55%. The Jewish majority vote for Dem/Progressive/Socialist candidates grew from there. FDR got 90% as did LBJ (vs. Goldwater).

Reagan was the last Republican to make a significant dent getting 39% of the Jewish vote against Carter. The gains eroded and were gone by '92 when Bush 41 lost to Clinton.
