Jews Slide toward Republicans
What the data really show.
Much has been written in the past week about the Jews who voted for Abdul El-Sayed and various other anti-Israel candidates in the midterm elections. Some of the polling data cited are dubious at best. But whatever numbers one looks at, it’s necessary to keep in mind that, since the 1930s, Jews have been an overwhelmingly loyal Democratic constituency.
