Nearly half of Jewish voters have felt at risk because of their religious identity while living in the Empire State — while more than a third said that New York is no longer a safe haven for their people, a shocking new poll reveals.

The survey conducted for the pro-Israel New York Solidarity Network found that 44% of the 1,200 Jewish voters in New York City and other counties queried said they have felt unsafe, as did 67% of identifiable Orthodox Jews.

More than a third — 35% — said they agreed with the statement: “New York is no longer a safe haven for Jewish life and the Jewish people.”

Nearly 40% of the same voters said the US is no longer a safe haven for Jews.

The numbers are unsettling given that 1.5 million Jews live in New York state — more than any single place on the globe outside of Israel, the poll takers said.

*** Meanwhile, 86% of respondents said they believe that antisemitism is a serious problem, and 56% have witnessed anti-Jewish hatred on social media and online forums — including 72% of those under the age of 30.

Antisemitic hate crimes are up 45% in 2024, according to NYPD data obtained by The Post in April — with many of the emboldened attacks captured on shocking video. ***

And yet the vast majority of Jews will keep voting Democrat.

They are apparently not wrong.

Schumickie Schumer’s fault.

Hold him accountable...

[blackdog]

They dutifully and without reservation, made their bed. It’s time to sleep in it.

[JimRed]

Only 1200 Jewish voters in New York City? That number sounds way off!

[DIRTYSECRET]

Then vote republican-yeah right.

[MinorityRepublican]

They live mostly in urban hellholes. If they live somewhere like Des Moines, Iowa, then they’re safe.

[lurk]

They voted for this.

Guess it’s not “Hymie Town” anymore. Jesse Jackson will be pleased.

[aquila48]

Most voted for it, and still support it.

“And yet the vast majority of Jews will keep voting Democrat.”

And supporting mass immigration, to ‘dilute’ the power of the ‘Far Right’ (otherwise known as Christians who attend church).

Perhaps they should ‘reassess’ their goals? Just sayin’.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Yep. Most of them will vote for the Jew Hater Party (a.k.a Democrat Party).

Only 1200 Jewish voters in New York City?

There were 1,200 Jews queried in this survey.

What about White people?
Does anyone care about White people anymore?

[cowboyusa]

Christians who practice a faith that is Jewish. But yes, you do reap what you sow.

[Uncle Miltie]

Move to Israel. Israel needs you. Make Aliyah!

[Freest Republican]

Where are the great catches?

This stuff is so dull that even you had to hype it up with vast majority while AI says vast majority is typically 95% and up.

New York is also home to the highest Jewish population of any city in the world, numbering 960,000 in 2023, more than Tel Aviv and Jerusalem combined.

The subset of Jews most at risk for physical attack are the Orthodox, who vote overwhelmingly GOP.

[ArcadeQuarters]

70% of them need to vote better.
