In our previous Jewish Party Identification post we were able to bring some order to the seemingly conflicting numbers from different polls – putting the percentage of Jewish Democrats on 65%-68% and the percentage of Jewish Republicans on 27%-29%. What we have in this post doesn’t reflect much change in the overall numbers.
The graph below and the table at the bottom were updated to include new numbers from the poll by Workmen’s Circle. They include the three categories of Democrats, Republicans and Independents (we combined the “stronger” and weaker leanings appearing at the original poll) – but do not divide the Independents into further “leaning” categories. This leaves us without additional confirmation to the trend recorded only in PEW surveys, according to which there’s a trend toward the Republican Party among Jewish voters.
