It Depends On What Type Of Jew

Did Jewish voters shift to Trump or no? It depends where you look

Contradictory data from polls and exit polls suggest Jews stayed broadly loyal to the Democratic party - but with significant erosion in key places.

Data on the Jewish vote in the election is contradictory and "all over the map," according to Jewish Insider editor in chief Josh Kraushaar.

An AP/Fox poll shows a clear shift towards Republicans, with 66-32% for Kamala, the worst since 1988. But an Edison poll and a Democratic firm poll shows Jews voting for Kamala at over 70%, a standard rate.

However, exit polls from specific states such as New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania show much closer margins, and multiple counties known to have a high concentration of Jews showed a similarly large shift.

Whether this is all do to the increased voting power of Orthodox and ultra-Orthodox Jews or whether this represents a general shift of American Jews to the right remains to be seen.
