Most American Jews don't feel supported by either party or President Trump, new AP-NORC poll finds
AP ^ | July 9, 2026 | Steve Peoples and Linley Sanders

Yahm Levin is a diehard Democrat who lives in one of the nation's most liberal cities. And yet the 39-year-old Jewish woman from Los Angeles is sometimes afraid to use her first or last name when meeting people — even those who share her progressive politics.

Levin has learned from recent experience that being identified as a Jew, especially one who lived in Israel, can trigger uncomfortable questions from fellow Democrats. Or worse. So, she introduces herself by her middle name, Shelly, which she said feels safer.

Jewish adults even feel worse about President Donald Trump and the Republican Party, although not by much — a noteworthy finding considering that Jewish Americans overwhelmingly identify as Democrats. About half of Jewish adults say Trump and Republicans don't support Jewish people in the U.S. well.

Can't fix stupid. Trump is risking his political career supporting Isreal and going to war with Iran but a sizeable portion of American Jews still suffer from TDS.

They want socialism

Leftists only think you are good if you push socialism. Nothing else matters to them.

The methodology for the poll is buried down in the last paragraph of the article.

I can see why.

Democrats are the next best thing to communism so get over it. If they want to be the chosen ones then go to Israeli.

When the left started whining about the “lone black woman surrounded by white patriots”, and squealing about how “afraid they are when they see the American flag” because it “symbolizes white supremacy” jews should have call3d “BS” AND countered that when Jews are surrounded by Muslims/ palestinians and the Islamic flag they fear for the lives “for real” because of the p4opensity of Muslims to commit vio.ence against Jews.

Then ask the whiny liberals when the last time white supremacists murdered, raped, stole from or even so much as attacked black folks was. Meanwhile jews are being actively attacked all over the world

Israeli born Jews are much different from US born Jews which mimic German Jews pre WW2.

The AP-NORC poll of 3,040 adults was conducted June 11-17 using a sample drawn from NORC’s probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population. The poll included interviews with 1,022 Jewish adults. The margin of sampling error for adults overall is plus or minus 2.8 percentage points and the margin of sampling error for Jewish adults is plus or minus 5.0 percentage points.In other words, this is a push poll created from our carefully selected group that we the AP rely upon to give us the answers we want.

People in America now think the President is supposed to show favoritism and pander to to whatever individual group, race, or ethnicity, they fit into.

The American Citizens and what is best for America as a whole. Those are the only people the President is there to serve.

No president has done more for America’s Jews but they are socialists and communists (in some cases) and can’t bring themselves to break from the rodents who openly hate them. Not too smart.

Although vocally visible, Jews are considered too few in number for broader population polling.

Because they make up a small percentage of the US population, standard national polls often use extraordinary methods to ensure adequate representation which makes it appear Jews are numerous (when public policy like Congressional funding issues loom).

Here is how polling the Jewish population works:

The total U.S. Jewish population is insignificant .......an infinitesimal fraction of the overall US population.......it is too small a number to study with proper methodology.

Major research organizations, such as the “American Jewish Population Project at Brandeis University,” conduct “targeted surveys” specifically to analyze Jewish Americans’ views and demographics.

Methodology To get statistically significant results for a smaller demographic like Jews, has pollsters use techniques like:

Oversampling: Including using a larger number of Jewish individuals in a survey sample than would occur by pure random chance, and then weighting the results back to their correct proportion in the overall population for national estimates.

Targeted Sampling: Using commercial lists or focusing on geographic areas (such as specific counties in New York, Florida, or Pennsylvania) where large Jewish populations reside to reach potential respondents.


The “Jewish vote” is considered insignificant in US politics, particularly in swing states or districts with pumped-up Jewish populations.

Yet Jews’ high voter registration and turnout rates and voting patterns supporting Democrats, make their vote an area of analysis, especially for campaign funding and political strategies.

While they are a tiny minority group, the Jewish population is routinely polled using extraordinary statistical methods to get their opinions and voting behavior.

Liberal Jews wanted to import third world parasites since they hate Western civilization but they didn’t realize that these people are anti Semitic. Oops

”Trump and Republicans don't support Jewish people in the U.S. well.”

Just what do they mean by “support”?
Do they mean handing out freebies, designating them as a special protected group like blacks and LGBTQ…. , putting them at the top of the DEI list??????

Netanyahu is inflicting much negativism on the US after he was caught with his pants down over Israel’s calculated bombing plans for Iran using US weapons and billions of tax dollars.

The reasonable Trump is seeking a swift end to the fighting to prevent broader regional instability,

The bomb-happy Netanyahu wants a military campaign against Iran........ and its proxies ........using more American weapons and billions more US tax dollars.

Trump reportedly lashed out at Netanyahu calling him “crazy” over Israeli plans to strike targets in Beirut.

The Israeli escalation threatens peace talks Trump was holding with Iran.

Trump has publicly demanded Israel cease these attacks, while Netanyahu——who controls US foreign policy——has signaled he will continue bombing .......despite Trump.

While the U.S. got inveigled into Israel’s cockamamie plan..... initially coordinating attacks on Iran..... the Israeli hidden agenda has surfaced and dramatically diverges from what Trump was told.

Trump was not told of Israel’s secret agenda and is frustrated that the protracted conflict is causing global economic strain and threatening US mid-term elections,

Israel continues to target Iran despite repeated warnings from Washington. Trump has been vociferous with the way Israeli military operations have unfolded and criticized aspects of Israel’s overall strategy.

The tensions spilled into the open last week, when Trump acknowledged he was told the goal was to degrade the Islamic Republic’s military, eradicate its nuclear and ballistic missile programs.

Which did not happen despite Israel’s double-talking assurances.


For further analysis check reporting from the Associated Press or details via Fox News.

He lost the midterms, and probably his presidency because of it, when the first bombs fell on Iran. He turned his first administration over to Fauci and he turned his second over to Netanyahu.

Most American Jews don’t want to feel supported by Republicans or Trump.
