Jewish Voters in Swing Districts Shift Toward GOP Amid Antisemitism Concerns

Recent polls show increased political engagement and a significant decline in Jewish support for Democrats in key swing states.

A new poll reveals that Jewish voters in Pennsylvania and New York's swing districts are increasingly supporting Republican candidates, with concerns over antisemitism and the Israel-Hamas conflict driving this shift.
In Pennsylvania, 49% of Jewish voters now support Vice President Kamala Harris, down from 68% for President Biden in 2020, while 42% back former President Donald Trump.
The poll also highlights a trend of 'shy' Jewish voters who are reluctant to self-identify due to fears of antisemitic attacks, affecting the accuracy of voter sentiment data.
Both the Republican Jewish Coalition and the Jewish Democratic Council of America are ramping up their outreach efforts, with significant budgets allocated for grassroots campaigns and digital advertising.
High Jewish voter turnout is anticipated in the upcoming election, with their votes potentially decisive in swing states like Pennsylvania, where Jewish voters make up an estimated 3% of the electorate.
