Related: About this forum79% of US Jews voted for Harris, according to largest preliminary exit poll
(JEWISH GROUP)-snip-
But this year, with some Jews feeling alienated from the left and others all-in on the right due to Israel, some speculated that Trump could post an unusually strong showing among Jewish voters.
Initial polls suggest that is not the case. The National Election Pool, which produces an exit poll for a consortium of major news organizations, found that 79% of Jews said they voted Democratic, compared to 21% who voted Republican.
Edison Research, which conducts the national pool poll, surveyed voters in 10 states: Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin. (It did not survey voters in New York or California, which are home to the largest Jewish populations and also reliably vote Democratic by wide margins.)
It did not immediately release details about how many voters were surveyed and cautioned that the results could change as polling continued and results were adjusted to reflect the real vote tallies, a process called weighting that is a standard component of survey methodology.
If accurate, the National Election Pools result would be the lowest proportion of Jewish votes for a Republican presidential candidate in 24 years.

We will still get blamed, or people will focus on the ones who didn't vote for democracy and Harris!

Every other fucking group gets "excuses", but we vote in a LARGER number and STILL people kvetch. I am so disgusted right now, but I knew, win or lose, Jews will get the blame.

people who vote for democrats and people who vote for republicans. All people voting republican except for the very wealthy vote against their own best interest.
I was glad I did a morning minyan on zoom. There normally are 15 people . Today there were 75 sad souls looking for community.
