(Jewish Group) Most Jewish Americans concerned about antisemitism, disapprove of Trump

A survey of American Jews showed continued disapproval of President Donald Trump, with anti-Semitism high and Israel low on the priority list for Jewish voters.

The survey, conducted for a liberal-leaning Jewish organization, the Jewish Electorate Institute, by Greenberg Research, which does polling for Democratic candidates, showed 71 percent of likely Jewish-American voters disapprove of Trump and 29 percent approve, commensurate with polling since Trump’s election.

A generic Democrat would score 67 percent of the Jewish vote in the presidential election, while Trump would get 23 percent.

The survey released Wednesday of 1,000 Jewish voters nationally was taken between May 6 and 12, and is consistent with past polling of a constituency that leans strongly Democratic. According to the RealClear Politics aggregator, national averages show Trump’s disapproval ratings in the low 50s and his approval ratings in the low 40s.
