This news should come as no surprise as past elections and polls show that the Jewish people overwhelmingly vote for the Democratic party, but being that Florida can sometimes go against the grain this is great news.
Florida Jews support Biden by a whopping 51 point lead over tRump
Can you believe it? I will say it again...a 51 point freaking lead! 73% to 22% !
A small caveat for the group that conducted the study:
GBAO Research + Strategy, which has an above-average grade from FiveThirtyEight for its data gathering and accuracy. It was sponsored by liberal national political organization J Street
Although we are not a huge total percent of the population, we do vote and when we do we vote for the Democrat. Jewish voters cast an estimated 5.6% of the ballots returned during the 2016 presidential electorate.
Of course, as usual the Orthodox population is going for tRump, but…
Non-Orthodox favor Biden over Trump 76% to 20%. Reform Jews favor Biden, 83% to 13%, Conservative Jews favor Biden 68% to 27% and those who don’t identify with a denomination favor Biden 71% to 25%.
Why this huge support for Biden?
Jewish voters thought Biden would do a better job than Trump on a range of issues, including combating white nationalism and anti-Semitism (75% to 20%). The poll also found an advantage for Biden on keeping American Jews safe (67% to 25%) and racial justice (77% to 19%).
Also Biden has much bigger support on issues that matter to the Jewish people. Dealing with coronavirus was the poll participants biggest concern, while issues related to the state of Israel was, of the 13 topics asked about, number 9.
Second and third issues of importance? The economy and health care.
The poll which was just conducted, was based on a sample of 600 folks, contacted via landlines and cell phones, and a stated margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
This is great news and although I have not seen such detailed polls in other states, I see no reason why the issues and numbers would vary much.
