WASHINGTON - A new national poll of Jewish voters finds overwhelming support for Vice President Kamala Harris. Less than two months until the election, 72% of Jewish voters back Kamala Harris, while only 25% support Donald Trump in a head-to-head matchup. Nearly all - 91% - of Jewish voters are concerned about antisemitism in the United States, and Jewish voters trust Kamala Harris more than Donald Trump to fight antisemitism by nearly a three-to-one margin (60% - 23%). Harris's lead over Trump by a 47-point margin (72% - 25%) is an improvement from Biden's 41-point margin among Jewish voters in April (67% - 26%) when compared to an April poll of Jewish voters conducted by the Jewish Electorate Institute (JEI).
Halie Soifer, CEO of the Jewish Democratic Council of America , which commissioned the poll as a special project of JDCA, said, "Last week, before the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC), Donald Trump disparaged millions of American Jews and falsely asserted that he will get 50% of the Jewish vote. This poll confirms that he is gravely mistaken and his continued antisemitism only further alienates American Jews.
"Three out of four Jewish voters will overwhelmingly support Kamala Harris in this election and Donald Trump is on track to get no more than 25% of the Jewish vote. That has only been solidified by the fact that 80% of Jewish voters disagree with his repeated insults targeting millions of Jewish Americans, and 84% of those think his insults are antisemitic. While Trump clearly has animus for the overwhelming majority of American Jews, this poll confirms that feeling is mutual. This poll also confirms that Jewish voters are highly motivated to vote in November, and three-quarters of them are ready to elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. While Trump continues to denigrate the vast majority of Jewish voters, those same Jewish voters - many in battleground states - are preparing to play a critical role in defeating him in November."

Other key findings of the poll include:
- 68% of Jewish voters hold a favorable view of Kamala Harris, and 63% view Tim Walz favorably, compared to only 23% and 20% for Donald Trump and JD Vance.
- 75% of Jewish voters have an emotional attachment to Israel, and 83% believe that someone can be critical of how Israel is conducting the war with Hamas and still be pro-Israel.
- Only 30% of Jewish voters hold a favorable view of Benjamin Netanyahu.
- 91% of Jewish voters are concerned about antisemitism in the United States, and by a 37-point margin, Jewish voters trust Kamala Harris more than Donald Trump to fight antisemitism (60%-23%).
- 80% of Jewish voters disagree with Trump's statement that "any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion…and should be ashamed of themselves."
- Among those who disagree, 84% believe it is antisemitic.
- The future of democracy and abortion rank as the two top issues for Jewish voters, followed by the economy and inflation, climate change, and national security and foreign policy.
- Israel ranked as the 9th most important issue for Jewish voters when deciding which candidate to support.
Methodology: The national survey, conducted by GBAO Strategies on behalf of the Jewish Democratic Council of America (JDCA), included text-to-web interviews with 800 self-identifying Jewish registered voters nationwide between August 27 and September 1. The survey is subject to a margin of error of +/- 3.5 percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level, and the sample was weighted to Pew's demographic results for Jewish American voters on key variables such as gender, denomination, age, and synagogue membership.

American Jews overwhelming support Democrats!
You seem to love saying that.
American Jews have for the first time been put to the test. This coming election will tell the tale.
Three out of four American Jews will vote for Harris and Walz on November 5th 2024!
Trump will not break twenty five percent...
Another prediction!
Ok, we shall see.
Your predictions batting average is 0.000 since 2016 when you got one. One Vic!
Since then all your predictions have failed!
My predictions? What I have said has usually come true despite all the lies about it.
FOR THE RECORD:
In 2016 I was with Newsvine. I was a Rubio supporter during the RNC primary and told people over there I was voting for Trump even though I thought he was going to lose.
Ironically, THAT IS THE ONE I GOT WRONG!
What election did you call right since '16?
I don't call elections.
I did call the fact that a FISA request was fudged back when all of you said it was impossible because the penalties were so severe.
I did call a McClatchy Report on Michael Cohen being in Prague BS when a former member defended it. It turns out I was right.
Most of all I correctly predicted that the Mueller investigation would not find Russia collusion.
Overall, it was a fairly good record.
No Vic, we are talking about elections, but what about all your false bad predicitions about John Durham? You made a lot...
Why do you think American Jewish voters overwhelmingly reject Donald Trump and his MAGA Movement? Because they do!
Yes we will!!!!!!!!!!
What does that mean?
That is the most anti-Semitic comment I have ever seen on the website. Shameful and disgusting.
jews serve one purpose for maga/thumper scum ...

As scapegoats. It's been the same story for over 2,000 years.
American Jews have been put to the test for decades in America and have always survived and prospered.
Not voting for Trump is being put to the test, it is basic survival skills against a bigoted racist POS.
Truth.
Well, from the Trump/MAGA point of view the "test" seems obvious.
It is either ideology or self-preservation.
Just another bogus rigged poll by the liberal left Democrats using a specific and carefully chosen demographic that only polled 800 people and tried to spin the results to give the impression that it represented a much larger % of the Jewish population in this country. Pathetic and laughable at the same time. Worst part is that some people actually believe in that tripe.

..
They always have because they're fine decent upstanding citizens
Lol, A poll from the Jewish Democratic council of America.
heres an actual poll from an actual unbiased source showing trump WINNING among jewish voters in New York
Biden isn’t running. Haven’t you heard?
Harris, being basically a clone, doesn't transfer in that poll?
not by previous maga cult rules ...
Then show any other poll where American Jews are supporting Trump in 2024!
Because American Jews overwhelmingly support Kamala Harris and Tim Walz...
Did you miss post #2
Linked to the wrong poll. Here’s the correct one,
here's the most recent making the same point.
That is the same bullshit poll. Show us any other polls showing Trump getting a majority of Jewish votes in America!
You cannot! American Jews will be voting overwhelmingly for Harris and Walz...
You posted a poll from a Democratic activist group. Spare me.
Show one other poll showing Trump with a majority of Jewish Americans voters!
There are none. American Jews are never ever going to support MAGA Madness!
From the poll that Sean posted in 2.1.5, go look at question 12 in that spreadsheet. The question is :
In the column under 'Religion / Jewish' Kamala Harris has 44% and Donald Trump has 54%. Clearly shows a majority of Jewish voters who say they are voting for Trump. We won't know for sure until November but it's gonna be a close race. Nobody will run away with the vote this year.
Very good Sir.
That is the same poll. One poll. Show us any other polls showing that Trump has a majority of Jewish Americans support!
There are none. As the title says, "Jewish Americans overwhelmingly support Harris - Walz". That is a "Fact!"
The first link poll is from February. The second is from September.
But that's not fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The links are about the same outliner poll that was only NY and which has not been and cannot ever be replicated because American Jews overwhelmingly support Kamala Harris for President. They just do!
You know it. They know it. We all knows it!
No actually. The first poll from post 2 is from February when Biden was still the candidate. The second poll from post 2.1.5 while also a Siena poll is in fact from September. So it is a different poll. Your bitch about the poll posted in post 2 was that it showed Biden and the commentary is that Biden is no longer the candidate. The poll in post 2.1.5 is clearly about Harris vs Trump. That is a fact.
The pertinent fact here still remains that the overwhelming majority of American Jews support Harris and reject MAGA!
And overwhelming evidence this is fact!
Your polling numbers are from the DJCA (Jewish Democratic Council of America) which is a PAC for Jewish Democrats. Their polling may be a bit biased. The Siena polling on the other hand is rated Least Biased and Highly Rated. I think I will accept the Seina polling over the DJCA polling.
Perhaps you can find polling which supports you which isn't so biased.
Didn't miss it. It just probably could not get past the mega blinders that many have on.
Yes, you must show a poll that proves his point.
Silly goose!
That poll is dead wrong. Nobody believes it!
Trump insults American Jewish voters daily.
Show us one instance..........thanks,
Ummmm the ones that back Democrats.......Nice try...............read the headline. All you need to know.
Yes, American Jews who "Overwhelmingly" support Democrats and who will be voting for Harris and Walz Nov 5th. Those Jews!
Why are American Jews NOT voting MAGA?
Because they're fine and decent upstanding citizens and always overwhelmingly support DEMOCRATS
They don't support filthy vermin.
Who do the MAGA think they are fooling?
MAGAs know Jewish voters hate Trump!
Makes no sense. You asked him and he answered you - the ones that back Democrats are the Jewish folks.
80% of Jewish voters disagree with Trump's statement that "any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion…and should be ashamed of themselves."
Who are the idiots in the 20%?
