In New York State, Jews have the highest favorable opinion of President Trump. Jews support Trump more than any other religious group, more than Catholics and Protestants, upstate voters, and more than white voters in general.
Jews are the only identity group in the state with whom Trump isn’t underwater even at the same time as Sen. Schumer polls worse among Jews than among Catholics or Protestants.
(So when Trump taunts Schumer as a ‘Palestinian’, he knows what he’s doing.)
At 61%, Jews provide the highest rate of approval for Trump’s deportation of migrants compared to 42% among Protestants, 49% among Catholics and 48% among white voters.
Jews in New York have a total 57% approval rating for Trump in contrast to 38% among Protestants, 49% among Catholics and 47% among white voters, and the highest levels of support for Trump’s immigration, inflation, trade and conviction that Trump will make America great (51% Jews, 42% Catholics and 28% Protestants.)
Unsurprisingly, 64% of New York Jews support President Trump’s approach to Iran.
The Siena College poll numbers reflect an ongoing trend of Jewish support for Trump that defies the fake polls advanced by Democrat front groups (previously exposed by Freedom Center Investigates) which generate the 70% plus numbers often quoted by the media and the gullible to falsely claim nearly universal Jewish support for Obama, Biden and Kamala.
While some people would claim that these numbers are inadequate (and would complain that any numbers short of 101% are not good enough), they are all the more remarkable for coming out of one of the more liberal states in the country and even more so when you consider that much of New York’s Jewish population lives in New York City which leans so far leftward that it’s on the verge of electing a Muslim Communist and regularly generates anti-Trump protest mobs.
New York Jews are defying the trend in a state poll that shows 60% of the state has an unfavorable view of Trump and a poll rigged with slanted negative questions asking about the detention of elected officials over ICE protests, keeping the SALT cap in place, “cutting taxes for corporations” and cutting food stamps for “poor people” in a calculated effort to elicit negative responses. Despite that, Jews were the only group to continue standing by President Trump.
“Jews earn like Episcopalians, and vote like Puerto Ricans” was an old political jab. But if the rest of New York voted the way its Jewish population does, Trump would have won the state.
And it doesn’t end with Trump.
Support for President Trump doesn’t necessarily translate into support for Republicans at the local level, but that’s something that New York’s moribund GOP can choose to tackle.
While the next gubernatorial election is still in the wind and most of the candidates are unknown, a majority of New York’s Jewish voters would back Republican Mike Lawler over Gov. Kathy Hochul, the current unpopular Democrat in office, and back some conservative policies.
(The Siena polls also show that social media isn’t real life and that much of the Jewish population remains unaware of the pro-Israel positions of Rep. Elise Stefanik or Rep. Ritchie Torres and don’t even know who they are. The Twitter effect is extremely overrated.)
Contrary to popular belief, the Jewish vote is winnable. President Trump is proving it.
Trump’s secret was competing for voters, black, Jewish or Latino, whom most GOPers had written off, and especially targeting working class and minority male voters.
While the perception of New York Jews is somewhere between Jerry Seinfeld and a Park Avenue cardiologist, much of the population is actually religious, traditional and working class, is far more likely to live in Brooklyn than Manhattan and among Orthodox Jews is concerned about many of the same issues as conservative Christians are, not only Israel, but religious values, immigration control and national greatness.
New York’s demographics make it unlikely that a Republican presidential candidate will win New York outright, but courting the Jewish population and other ‘winnable’ groups can boost the size of the state’s Republican congressional delegation and make a difference at the state level.
Even while people mindlessly repeat the same lies about 70% of Jews supporting Democrats, New York Republicans got their best numbers in a gubernatorial race since the ’90s with a Jewish candidate. And President Trump is getting his best numbers in the state from its Jewish population even while Sen. Schumer is underwater among his own community.
New York Jews are no longer earning like Episcopalians and voting like Puerto Ricans. They’re moving to the right while the Episcopalians are moving leftward. Schumer can grit his teeth, Randi Weingarten can curse Jews as part of the “ownership class” and Democrat groups can spread their fake polls under front groups, but they are losing New York’s Jewish population.
It’s gotten so bad that the only one they could find to head Jews for Zohran was the niece of a Sri Lankan Marxist operating out of China. It would have been impossible to imagine a generation ago, but today, New York’s Jews stand with Trump.
Thanks Daniel, very interesting !!!!!!!
A Communist Mayor of LA, Muslim/Communist Mayor of New York …
I’d like to see a breakdown between the real Jews of Boro Park and Crown Heights (The hassidim) vs the apostate Self-gassing Jews in Name Only of Park Slope and the Upper West Side, etal.
Paticularly in the outer boroughs and suburbs, there’s a large contingent of non-chassidic orthodox Jews who also support Trump.
You don’t like the 7 million Americans with the religion of Jewish do you? Self-gassing is what a Nazi would say. In the 2024 election 2.5 million voted for the Kamel and 2.5 million voted for Trump. 2 million aren’t old enough to vote.
At last …. I’ve been waiting for this for over 15 years!
With any luck all of the Jewish support for Trump in NY will translate into overwhelming Jewish support in NYC and boot the “Infantilize the Intifada” Jew Hater right out of the race. Hopefully non-jews in NYC will recognize what a disaster MamiWhosYerDaddi would be financially for NYC and the state.
But then there is always the Tikkun Olam semi-Communists who screw up everything for the sane Jews
alas , the jews are always too late to save their own bacon . dershowitz was a naive democrat voter up until he woke up from his slumber to find out how much the democrats and their mindless hoards and the universities have been telling their followers to hate jews all the while taking their money . jews in d.c. hate their own much like the left in israel hate netanyahu . they would rather oct. 7 happen to them than live with their current govt. go figure .! ?
So you are afraid of the 7 million Americans with the religion of Jewish? There are only 1 million citizens of NYC with the religion of Jewish.
Sane Jews to “woke” Democ-rats: NEVER AGAIN!
THEN, WHY DO THEY CONTINUALLY VOTE DEMOCRAT as MOST major polls claim?
You would think that JEWS would never vote for a Democrat based on the Democrat Party’s mantra of evil, meaning DEMOCRATS are PRO-MUSLIM, PRO-LGBTQ+, PRO-ABORTION, ANTI-CONSTITUTION in just about EVERYTHING.
Very puzzling to read this article
Polls can claim anything. It cannot be assumed that is how “they” vote. Even election results cannot be assumed to showing how the electorate voted. Polls and elections can be fixed.
New York City(Home of that cheap Salsa)is becoming a less friendly place to Visit and worst place to stay the Big Apples Core is Rotten
Yes, but…when I go to Costco I come away thinking three are three times as many Muslims in the country as Jews,
Costco sucks. I don’t go there.
Recall too that Orthodox Jews, in Brooklyn in particular, are altogether opposed to Zionism.
Only the Satmar.
We have turned a corner, …..hopefully …
Trump should have endorsed Curtis Sliwa on Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Sigh …
It is still not too late for Trump to endorse Sliwa.
All it took (maybe) is ugly suppression and persecution, fear of bodily harm, friends and family being assaulted, images of it happening in the public news for this voting pattern to begin to change.
Much of this argument is based on how you define Jew as whether they are practicing the religion
My late husband, who was Jewish, would be so happy to see this. My wonderful hubby was a Republican when we met in San Francisco all those ago. A brilliant, kind, honest man who always thought for himself. Somewhere, he’s smiling.
I have been saying for several years that there is a quiet Jewish vote for Trump in NYC – don’t believe the fake pollsters from the DNC or Democrat Jewish Council whatever who say otherwise. Trump did very well in certain Jewish neighborhoods. Hey, Jerry Nadler – when are you retiring? And there are several Dem politicians in NYC (no, I don’t mean that Kapo Schumer) – who I know are not going to vote for Mamdani.
One can hope but support for Donald doesn’t mean that they aren’t liberal on every other issue or candidate
Yeah but, only 46% of NY Jews voted for Trump in 2024. But that’s much better than the 30% who voted for him in 2020 and only 21% in the rest of the country. Why? I suppose some peopld never learn but at least the numbers picked up from 2016 when 71% voted for Hillary
I hope that Daniel Greenfield is at least partly responsible for this good news.
But I don’t hear any of them speaking out against the ant Semite. musling running for Mayor of NYC..
That’s good news to me. I never believed that Jews were all lefties who vote D-Bag reflexively.
