Jewish voters in New York shift away from Democrats

Summarised from 2 outlets · 3 reports · Updated 16 Oct, 11:38 · Archive

Jewish voters in New York have reduced their support for the Democratic Party, with the party's polling advantage over Republicans among this group dropping sharply. According to data presented by CNN's chief data analyst Harry Enten, Democrats held a 40-point lead among Jewish voters in U.S. House races in 2018, which grew to 49 points by 2022. Current polling averages show this lead has narrowed to just 13 points, a decline of 36 points since the last election cycle.

Jewish support for New York Governor Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, has also fallen since her last election in 2022. Despite the decline, Democrats still maintain an advantage among Jewish voters, though the shift represents historically strong support for Republicans within this group.

Twitch streamer Hasan Piker commented on the trend, attributing the shift to voters' views on Israel. He wrote that it was unusual to see 'this many jewish voters leaving the democratic party over israel', suggesting the Republican alternatives were not presenting more appealing policies on other issues. Piker attributed the change to concerns about 'the continuation of israel's belligerence'.
