Two-thirds of US Jewish voters to favor Democrats in November elections, poll shows
The poll by the Jewish Voters Resource Center, which is led by prominent Jewish Democrats, showed that 67 percent of respondents planned to vote for Democratic congressional candidates in November.
A recent poll reveals that two-thirds, or 67 percent, of Jewish voters plan to support Democratic congressional candidates in the upcoming midterms, according to the Jewish Voters Resource Center, a group led by prominent Jewish Democrats. The poll, which surveyed 800 Jewish voters via text from August 26 to September 1, also found that 26 percent of respondents would vote for Republican candidates.
The findings suggest that tensions over Israel have not significantly altered the Jewish community's political allegiance, which has consistently favored Democrats since the 1930s, with peaks such as the 2000 election where nearly 80 percent of Jewish voters backed a Democratic ticket. Antisemitism, ranked third on respondents' top issues list, and Israel, ranked fifth, are among the key concerns driving voters' decisions.
Despite recent criticism from some Democratic candidates, the high levels of unfavorability towards President Donald Trump and his vice president, JD Vance, indicate that Republicans may struggle to capitalize on this disaffection with Democrats.
