Former President Donald Trump has gained a slight lead among Jewish voters in deep-blue New York, according to a new Siena Research Institute poll. The poll, released on Tuesday, shows Trump securing 50% of the vote among likely Jewish voters, narrowly surpassing Vice President Kamala Harris, who received 49%.
This shift marks a significant change from earlier in the year when President Joe Biden held a lead over Trump among Jewish voters, 52% to 46%. However, the political landscape has changed considerably since then, with Biden withdrawing from the race and Harris securing the Democratic nomination.
Traditionally, Jewish voters have leaned heavily Democratic. An analysis by the American Enterprise Institute indicates that Jewish voters have supported Democratic candidates by an average margin of 71% to 26% since 1968. In the 2020 election, Jewish voters favored Biden over Trump by 68% to 30%, while in 2016, they chose Hillary Clinton over Trump by 71% to 26%.
Despite the narrow lead among Jewish voters, the poll also reveals a broader trend favoring Harris among the general electorate in New York. She now leads Trump 53% to 39% among all likely voters, an improvement over the eight- to ten-point lead previously held by Biden.

The polls do not suggest that New York is “in play”, and that the Democrats still have commanding leads in both the Presidential and Senate races.
How come the degenerate adulterous felon isn’t talking about the stock market?
Any frum person that votes for Harris should be put in cheirem and kicked out of their shuls!
The reason? Harris supports: LGBTQ emancipation, legalizing abortion up to birth (even in the 9th month) and letting violent criminals get off the hook with short sentences. Enough is enough, any frum person enabling this needs to be publicly shamed and humiliated.
As a frum yid one should always back the candidates that support morality (even if the candidate is not morally sound…)
In my opinion the fact that Jews are supporting him is a kiddish hashem!!
New York has the greatest proportion of Orthodox Jews of any State.
Yanky1998 while I completely agree with the sentiment I am not sure that your idea is so frum…
eeeeehhhhhh
why not? We cannot tolerate a Trojan horse in our midst. Send them out!
@rt
Because it doesn’t exist any more
Who are these 49% of Jews voting for Harris ?
Do they knwo why they are voting for her ?????
A total shame.
Anyway, It doesn’t make a differnce in the deep blue NY. NJ However recently has a large Jewish population and there is a nice chane Trump will carry this state as we see he is campaigning there. But for this to happen we need all Jews to vote for Trump and not blindly vote for Harris.
NJ Jews !!!! Go out and vote for Trump if you really care about the good sake of Jews !!!

Because although they are wrong 2 wrongs don’t make a right
@rt: because he was forced to drop out of the race, resulting in Cackala taking his place.
