Re: “looks like the heart of the never-trumps”

Hard to tell.

The article is not well written.

From the language, I can’t tell if the writer is comparing a 2012 poll to a 2016 poll, or if the comparison is to actual 2012 results.

Also, the reference to 80,000 voters in 2012 is just for an organization that helps Americans living in Israel to vote in their home state.

If the poll, and the voter turn out, are accurate, that could indicate a problem for Trump in Florida.

Romney only lost Florida by 74,000 votes, and the large South Florida Jewish vote can swing the state either way.

Anyway, this poll of Israeli-resident American voters makes me feel very uneasy.

Yes. That is a lot of votes. Question is why are Israelis this year against Trump and not the others Reno’s that seem to want to get rid of Israel? From my prospective it seems backward.

I just went to a few different Jewish Newspapers looked at their posts. jpost, ynetnews, israelnationalnews They seem to have a mixed view on Trump vs Hillary. Some pro-Trump. Many hate them both so much I doubt they would vote. A couple anti-Trump. no Hillary supporter.

The Anti-Trump people used the bigotry argument. Which as you know is a media myth. Seems the media has did get to many of them.

I assume these are high-income, well-educated voters. Not Trump’s stronghold. There’s no doubt this election is going to be won on the basis of turning out blue-collar voters in bigger numbers if he wins. The education split in the Trump/Hillary voters is a striking divide in the polls that has not been seen in other presidential races.
