Jewish support for the Democratic Party has fallen to its lowest level in 40 years, according to a poll released Friday by the Manhattan Institute.
The survey shows that Vice President Kamala Harris holds 67% of Jewish voter support, compared to 31% who favor former President Donald Trump. While Harris is expected to secure a majority of the Jewish vote, the figure marks a sharp decline from former President Bill Clinton’s 80% support in 1992, and the lowest since the Ronald Reagan era.
The shift comes in the wake of the October 7 Hamas massacre of Israeli civilians, which has left many American Jews furious with the mixed response from the Biden-Harris administration and growing antisemitism on college campuses.
Despite Jewish voters traditionally leaning toward Democrats on most issues, the Biden administration’s fluctuating stance on Israel and its relationship with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has prompted some American Jews to reconsider their allegiance to the Democratic Party.
The poll reveals that 86% of Jewish voters support Israel, while 62% express concerns about rising antisemitism within the Democratic Party.
Jesse Arm, chief of staff at the Manhattan Institute, noted that Jewish voters now see “security, Israel, and antisemitism” as vulnerabilities for Harris in comparison to Trump. “This is evidenced by the fact that Jews are almost universally supportive of Israel—only 5% of Jewish voters say they do not support the Jewish state,” Arm said.
Harris’ strongest support comes from Reform, unaffiliated, or nondenominational Jews, according to the survey.

This poll was done online and with text messages. Thus, it almost certainly left out chareidim and anyone who doesn’t go online or text. I believe that chareidim make up at least %10 of the Jewish population (The last Pew study undercounted them by more than %100). Thus, probably only %57 or fewer of Jews are likely to vote Democrat in this election.
The תורה in משפטים explicitly says מכשפה לא תחיה, and Harris meets all the definitions of a bonafide מכשפה, hence it is absolutely אסור to vote for this Harris bitch.
If this ain’t enough, President Donald Trump שליט”א our soon to be 47th President of the United States of America, moved the USA embassy to ירושלים, as well as gave clemency to Rubashkin, so there is an absolute חיוב של הכרת הטוב
UNBELIEVABLE that 67% still vote Democrat – what nebuchs
67% ??? Hard to beleive.
I doubt they are really Jewish. They are probably considered Jewish becuase their great great grandfather had a Jewish neighbor etc…..
“The poll reveals that 86% of Jewish voters support Israel, while 62% express concerns about rising antisemitism within the Democratic Party.”
Yet
“The survey shows that Vice President Kamala Harris holds 67% of Jewish voter support, compared to 31% who favor former President Donald Trump“
And who says Jews are smart
Wonder where the usual dependable democrats are to comment on this to tell us what a “ shanda” this is 🤣!
I’m curious when all is said and done if history will explain how it is that secular Jews supported the party that ushered in a new era of unabashed antisemitism in our lifetimes.
B”H 67% of Jews recognize that the man who dines with Kanye and Fuentes and blames Jews for his poor polling is no friend of the Jews. B”H 67% of Jews recognize the danger of MAGA isolationists like JD Vance who pals around with antisemites like Tucker Carlson and publicly criticizes Kamala Harris when she says Iran is the biggest threat to America..
All Jews should be concerned about rising antisemitism in the GOP. It is the GOP that gave holocaust deniers Tucker Carlson a platform at the RNC. It is the GOP that is running a self proclaimed black Hitler on its ticket in NC. It is the GOP who nominated antisemites like Eric Hovde in Wisconsin and Royce White in Minnesota. MTG of Jewish space laser fame who wants to protect the right to teach that Jews killed her savior holds a position of prominence in today’s GOP. California GOP candidate Scott Baugh just campaigned with a noted anti Semites and proudly touted their endorsements as did GOP candidates in Georgia. It is shocking and sad to see how many of unzerer oilam put allegiance to MAGA ahead of real concerns for Jews and Frum Yidden.
crazy,
You had no reaction to the spark of coherence from the horse-faced, hyena laughing slut criticizing Israel of genocide. Usually when Kamalek urinates in your face you thank her for the rain.
Why are you kapos so quiet?
Gadol,
VP Harris response to the comments of a protestor leave alot to be desired but the bottom line is that her campaign stated clearly that the VP does not consider what is happening in Gaza to be genocide. We also know that VP Harris refused to allow a pro Palestinian speaker to speak at the DNC and when asked in a recent interview which country the biggest threat to America she unequivocally stated Iran. In response JD Vance publicly stated that VP Harris is wrong and that Iran is not the biggest threat to the US rather China is. Vance also spoke about the going ons in Palestine as if Palestine is a country. Vance is grovelling for the Arab vote in Michigan
Dofi,
Thank you for proving that MAGAism has become a cult of slavish obedience. You have put your belief in a flawed human instead of the Ribono shel Oilam. You curse and swear at those who opposed your false hashkafah and avodah zarah. Instead of making rational points and addressing issues you engage in name calling and worse. While I don’t understand why YWN moderators allow such vile hate to be posted your comments are important as they illustrate the extent of that the grotesque MAGA ideology has had on people like you. Iy”h Trump will lose and MAGA will be defeated.
crazy,
I haven’t put my belief in anyone, you twisted kapo. I’m calling out the anti-Semitism of this brainless slut you so slavishly defend. Do you hope to be her next Jewish ham-and-cheese sandwich after Dougie cheats on her, just as he did on his first wife?
Dofi,
Oh the irony of calling out Kamala’s husbands past behavior while ignoring the lifetime of nevalah of your preferred candidate. Oh the irony of going after Kamala for “antisemitism” while being a full throated cheerleader for the man who dines with the most rabid antisemites in this country in his private residence and gave a platform to a leading holocaust denier at the RNC.
crazy,
There is zero irony in your constantly ignoring Brandon stabbing Israel in the back repeatedly, withholding weapons, disclosing their negotiating positions, micromanaging the war, leaking their Iran plans and Kamalek, your slut girlfriend, jumping on the genocide bandwagon.
You’re a kapo and that’s just what kapos do!
Dofi,
If you would actually read my comments you wouldn’t find a defense of Vice President Harris per se. You will find a strong critique of the words and actions of Donald Trump. Please before you engage in rage and nivul peh read the very real criticisms of Trump. Engage in comprehension before responding in rage with childish kapo name calling and juvenile petty insults. Try to break free of the cult mindset. Recognize the very real danger presented by the man who wants “his” generals to be Hitler’s, kept Hitler’s speeches on his nightstand and praised Hitler for doing some really good things
I will correct the record on VP Harris when you distort it as I have done above but my comments are not that Vice President Harris is the best candidate ever but that rather Donald Trump is a danger to Jews, America and democracy.
Thankfully the vast majority of acheinu bnei Yisrael will never vote for Trump. Even in the frum world there are many who opposed Trump but are scarier to say so publicly due to the outrageous bullying as you have demonstrated above. Come November 5th yidden will go to the ballot box and reject Trump and his MAGA movement.
crazy,
Face it. You are besotted with this brainless slut and a kanoiy not for the Torah but for her woke religion. You have attempted to whitewash all of the evil that brainless Brandon and Kamalek have repeatedly perpetrated against Israel, especially over the past year. Your slavish posts have only succeeded in covering you from head to toe in their excrement and have made you repulsive.
You’re the definition of a kapo and that’s just what kapos do!
