One of the unreported news items this cycle is how the Democrats are bleeding Jewish voters, and I think this will become very apparent in New York, where the party’s insane social liberalism is at odds with the growing clientelle of ultra-orthodox jews.

One other Republican-leaning Jewish subgroup that fails to get much attention are the Russian (and Iron Curtain) Jewish immigrants who arrived here from about 1980 on, and their families. They were victims of Communist repression and are thus drawn to a robust US defense ideology and are repelled by leftist government overreach domestically.

Still another such subgroup are American Jews abroad in Israel, who are very knowledgeable about Obama's biases in the Middle East.

BTW, it is extremely difficult logistically to do accurate polling on how the entire American Jewish community voted in a specific election. One would have to think that the Jewish Republican vote is undersampled by polls (the vast majority of which are done by left-leaning organizations) because of aversions to and difficulties by the poll takers in interacting with orthodox and Russian Jews due to cultural and language differences. You can bet as well that American Jews abroad in Israel will not be polled at all because of expense.

In addition, these pollsters generally have a pro-'Rat bias from the get-go which influences their methods.

Asians were apparently almost an even split

Your comment is interesting, but it does not reflect political reality.

33 out of 34 Jewish members of Congress are Democrat.

I know Russian Jews having worked to get them out of the then Soviet Union. They are not as intimidated by the young Communist thugs who hassle people if they support America.
