Even as Democrats nominate anti-Israel candidates, poll suggests 67% of Jewish voters plan to cast ballots for Dems in November

A new poll by the Jewish Voters Resource Center indicates that 67% of Jewish voters plan to vote Democrat in the upcoming midterm elections, with only 26% supporting Republicans, despite the Democratic Party nominating several anti-Israel candidates. The survey, conducted by GBAO Strategies, found that key drivers for Jewish voters are "democracy, the cost-of-living and a deep hostility toward Donald Trump," according to Jim Gerstein, principal at GBAO Strategies. While 71% of Jews expressed emotional attachment to Israel, this issue ranked fifth in importance behind the cost of living, the future of democracy, antisemitism, and healthcare. The poll also revealed that 75% of Jewish voters disapprove of U.S. President Donald Trump, and 67% view Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu unfavorably.
