Former President Donald Trump receives historic share of Jewish vote in New York, new poll shows former President Donald Trump's approval rating among Jewish voters, traditionally a Democratic stronghold has rapidly increased to 43%. This is a dramatic increase from 2020 and completely changes expectations for the 2024 vice presidential election for President Kamala Harris.
According to Fox News exit polls, Trump's support among New York's Jewish voters has risen to unprecedented levels, with more than four in 10 Jewish New Yorkers favoring Trump in this election. I support it.
This sharp rise represents a historic shift for Republican candidates in a demographic that traditionally leans Democratic.
The rise in approval ratings signals Trump's policies on issues important to many Jewish voters, such as anti-Semitism and strong U.S.-Israel relations. And religious freedom resonates deeply in New York, especially among the Orthodox community.
The narrowing gap between the former president and Kamala Harris highlights the growing conservative leanings of some Jewish voters, which could have implications in battleground states with large Jewish populations. .
The increase marks a notable shift in voter loyalty and suggests President Trump's message is gaining traction where previous Republican candidates have struggled.
“The last time a Republican won 40% of the Jewish vote was Eisenhower, and the last time he got over 40% and 43% was Harding in the 1920 election (in 1916, Hughes won 43% of the Jewish vote). @realDonaldTrump may have received the highest number of Jewish Republican votes since 1920, or even since 1916. Best @RJC has done in over 100 years!” said policy analyst David Hirsch.
The issue comes amid an alarming rise in anti-Semitism in New York and an unprecedented rise in hate crimes targeting Jewish residents. Jewish Americans have historically voted for Democrats, and Joe Biden won an overwhelming share of the Jewish vote in 2020, but the recent rise in votes in New York is a surprising shift. be.
If these trends continue, Trump's growing support among Jewish voters could play a crucial role in battleground states and add another dimension to the election outcome.
