Jewish support for Democrats lowest since Reagan era: poll

Jewish support for the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee is on track to be the lowest since the Ronald Reagan era — while the number of those backing Donald Trump is on the rise, according to a new poll from the Manhattan Institute.

If the election were held today, Kamala Harris would win the support of just 67% of Jewish voters, while former President Trump would take 31% of Jewish votes, the survey found. More than four out of five described themselves as “enthusiastic” about their choice.

Jews are among the most reliable Democratic constituencies in America.

Jewish support for Democrats is the lowest its been since the Reagan era.

Though Jewish voters on the whole remain overwhelmingly supportive of Democrats, that support has dipped noticeably over the years.

In 1992, 80% of Jewish voters supported Bill Clinton over George Bush Sr., though things have been trending slowly downward since. In 2020, Biden won the support of 68%....

"This is evidenced by the fact that Jews are almost universally supportive of Israel — a mere 5% of Jewish voters say they are not supporters of the Jewish state,” Arm added.

If the election were held today, Kamala Harris would win the support of just 67% of Jewish voters.

Harris’ remaining strength among Jews came from Reform and unaffiliated or nondenominational Jews who are historically more aligned to progressive causes than other Jews.

Starting to lose the Jews.
Starting to lose the blacks.
The old folks who voted for JFK are dying off too.

All they have left are the child-killing women. It’s a big demographic group, but not big enough.

I could settle for losing just Minnesota, and the District of Corruption.

Increasing numbers of Jews are discovering that, under CRT and DEI, they are just privileged white people. And they don’t like it.

They are undercounting Orthodox (observant) Jews, who voted for Trump with a whopping 83% support.

“If the election were held today, Kamala Harris would win the support of just 67% of Jewish voters.”

If you read the Old Testament you will see the Israelites often made very poor choices; repeatedly.

And suffered for their bad choices repeatedly.

Jews are a favored people for sure but their quirk of voting democrat can't be explained in charitable terms.

They have the cheat operators and Dominion. And Dominion will sue you for defamation if you question their accuracy.

Misleading headline. If Biden got 68% of Jewish votes and per this poll she is getting 67%, it means there is no change in Jewish votes from 2020 to today. There is no Jewish exodus from the Democrat party. The Reagan-era comparison is a non sequitur.

Any Jewish person who votes Democrat is voting for their demise.

It’s like voting for Hitler in the 1930s

They have a historical enemy that they easily identify in the post FDR Republican Party and conservative & nationalist movements.

It isn’t going to change anytime soon.

Having said that, the Jews that post on Free Republic are fantastic people and should never be lumped in with the left-wing groups.

I’ll give it a try, even though I’m not Jewish. Jews have traditionally been for the underdog - the working poor, the oppressed, etc. For example, many of the founding members of the NAACP were Jewish.

Unfortunately, many Jews don’t get that the Democrat party is no longer the party of the working poor and the oppressed. It’s now the party of radicals, radicals who would sell out the Jews to the Muslims in a second.

And I’m not about just selling out the Jews in Israel. I’m talking about selling out the Jews in the United States as well.

He’s not Jewish or he wouldn’t have married Commiela.

That said, Biden Harris leaking satellite photos of Israel’s preparation tells you they are the enemy of the Jewish people.

Conservatives woul take 30%

Orthodox Jews practice Judaism. The rest of my tribe has Liberalism as their religion.
