Anti-Zionist charedim in Brooklyn voted for Romney by overwhelming margins — over 80% in some areas. This despite the fact that Republican rule in Washington would cut the social programs those communities depend upon for their very existence.
Zionist modern orthodox in Teaneck and Riverdale voted for Obama by smaller margins. This despite the fact that Democratic rule in Washington means higher taxes for these well off communities.
The Republican Jewish Coalition’s 2012 exit poll had Obama over Romney by 4% among Orthodox Jews — almost exactly the margin among non-Jewish Americans.
