(Jewish Group) 70% of Jews plan to vote Biden, Pew study finds

The Jewish vote in the upcoming presidential election should be very close to the way it has been split since 2012, a new study by the Pew Research Center found.

The survey, conducted earlier this month and published Tuesday, found that 70% of American Jews plan to vote for former Vice President Joe Biden, while 27% plan to vote for President Donald Trump.

If those numbers bear out, they will be nearly identical to the Jewish result in 2016, when Pew found that Hillary Clinton won 71% of the Jewish vote to Trump’s 25%. In 2012, the numbers were slightly higher for the Republican candidate: Barack Obama won 69% of the Jewish vote while Mitt Romney won 30%.

The margin of error for Jewish respondents on the Pew survey is quite large, at 9.6%, which means that the result is statistically similar to the Jewish vote in previous elections.

You would think that saying Neonazis and other White Supremacists are bad would be the minimum bar for any Jewish voter not being paid by Trump.

Seriously??????? Other than Steven Miller and a handful of billionaires where did the other 26% come from???

YOUR "concern" is about the ones not voting Biden as opposed to the OVERWHELMING majority who are?!
