Time -Jewish voters continue to overwhelmingly support Democrats, despite President Donald Trump’s recent claims otherwise. In the past week, the president has twice tweeted
about a group represented by a former Trump campaign staffer that is
encouraging Jewish voters to join the Republican Party.
In the November 2018 midterms, for example, 79% of Jewish voters backed Democratic candidates for Congress, according to Pew Research Center. This was slightly below 2006 levels but an increase from the 2014 midterms.
On the presidential front,
Jewish voters have overwhelmingly supported Democrats for decades: Al
Gore won 79% of Jewish voters in 2000, John Kerry won 74% in 2004,
Barack Obama won 78% in 2008 and 69% in 2012, and Hillary Clinton won
71% in 2016.
