A new poll shows Donald Trump coming out on top among Jewish voters in heavily Democratic New York.
Before Biden withdrew:
Joe Biden: 52%
Donald Trump: 46%
If Kamala Harris is the candidate:
Kamala Harris: 49%
Donald Trump: 50%
A new poll has shown Donald Trump to have a surprising lead among Jewish voters in heavily Democratic New York.
Republican Trump received the support of 50% of Jewish voters in the state, but only 49% of those who voted for Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a Siena Institute poll.
Harris’ results reflect Biden’s slide in support among that demographic since dropping out of the presidential race. Harris led Trump 52% to 46% among New York’s Jewish population in June.
The poll was released on Tuesday, the same day Harris announced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate following a surge in her Democratic support.
This comes as Kamala Harris is being questioned about why she chose Gov. Tim Walz over Gov. Josh Shapiro when selecting her running mate.
The poll came just before Harris chose Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz over Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, the only Jew among the candidates, a move that sparked speculation that the choice was due to Shapiro’s unpopularity among Democrats, who have taken a more sympathetic stance toward Palestinians since the outbreak of the war in Gaza.
Nevertheless, Jewish voters have traditionally supported Democratic candidates for decades: Since 1968, Jewish voters have, on average, supported Democrats by a 71% margin to Republicans by 26% margin, according to an analysis by the American Enterprise Institute.
In 2020, Jewish voters supported Biden over Trump by 68% to 30%, while in 2016 the same group supported Clinton over Trump by 71% to 26%.
