Support for the Democratic Party among Jewish Americans has reached its lowest point in four decades, with only 63% expressing intent to vote for Kamala Harris, according to a survey by the Jewish People Policy Institute (JPPI).

Despite declining support, Harris retains the backing of the majority, while a notable 24% plan to vote for Donald Trump, largely due to his stance on Israel.


The survey highlights a marked divide in voting priorities, particularly around Israel and antisemitism. Among Jewish Americans who firmly support Trump, 95% cite Israel as a primary factor influencing their vote, compared to only 31% of strong Harris supporters.

These are incremental changes. I tried to get more detail on the poll and its history, but couldn't find any. Harris will not get anywhere near as low as Jimmy Carter did in 1980 (45%), but any incremental gain for Trump will add to the shifts taking place in the US electorate.
