President-elect Donald Trump won more than 40% of the Jewish vote in several states and is seemingly insurmountable on the strength of his support for Israel and proven commitment to combating anti-Semitism. I broke down the wall.
National exit poll proposed Trump, like other Republicans, says he only receives a small portion of the Jewish vote. A CNN/ABC/CBS/NBC poll suggested Trump won only 21% of the Jewish vote. Fox News suggested he had a 31% chance of winning.
But even at 31%, it would still be the highest percentage of Jewish votes for a Republican presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan won 39% in 1980. Dwight D. Eisenhower hold The current record is 40% in the 1965 election.
update: The Republican Jewish Federation estimates that Trump won 32% of the Jewish vote nationwide.
Additionally, in several states, Mr. Trump surpassed the 40% Jewish vote that had long been seen as the ceiling for Republicans. According to a Fox News poll, Trump won a relatively high percentage of the Jewish vote in the following states:
- Arizona – 38%
- Florida – 44%
- New Jersey – 34%
- Nevada – 42%
- New York – 46%
The Fox poll had too few Jewish respondents in its sample to record percentages for many other states.
The results did not fully confirm polls during the campaign that showed Mr. Trump won 50% of New York's Jewish vote, but suggested that Mr. Trump was close to that number.
of new york post Trump reported increased His share of the state's Jewish vote increased by 50% compared to 2020.
Estimating the Jewish vote is notoriously difficult due to small sample sizes, but pre-election polls show that Jews overwhelmingly say Israel and anti-Semitism are their top issues. Trump was expected to win the majority. But it is a minority among American Jews.
Although it was never expected that Trump would win a Jewish majority, Jewish voting movements in several key states, particularly Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan, and Nevada, have pushed these states toward Trump. It was expected that there would be a possibility of tilting.
