Who Won the Jewish Vote?

JL;DR SUMMARY The article explores the complexities of analyzing the Jewish vote in the U.S. elections, focusing on discrepancies between various polls and examining shifts in voting patterns among Jewish communities across the country, particularly in New York City.

Places mentioned

Aventura, Florida, United States
"Aventura is one of the communitys bellwethers, and the Dade County town hosts a dense cluster of Jews from across the religious, national, and linguistic spectrum."
Miami Beach, Florida, United States
"An almost identical shift happened in the much smaller Miami Beach community of Surfside, where Trump went from 48% of the vote in 2020 to 61% in 2024."
Pennsylvania, United States
"Earlier this week, a survey sponsored by the Teach Coalition, the Orthodox Union-affiliated group that advocates on behalf of religious schools, found that 40% of Jews in congressional swing districts in Pennsylvania and the New York suburbs voted Republican."
New York City, New York, United States
"To say that the Upper East Side Jewish vote went for Trump would be a stretch based on the available data, but it may not be that far off."
Lakewood, New Jersey, United States
"In 2020, Joe Biden received 17.2% of the vote in Lakewood, a fast-growing city where nearly every strain of Orthodox Judaism is represented."
Teaneck, New Jersey, United States
"Though there is no precinctwide information available for 2020, making it difficult to isolate more Jewish areas, the modern Orthodox stronghold of Teaneck, New Jersey, went from 27% to 35% support for Trump."
West Bloomfield, Michigan, United States
"Los Angeles in turn mirrors the general trend in the rest of the country. West Bloomfield, center of the Detroit-area Jewish community, went from 40% to 43.7% support for Trump."
Los Angeles, California, United States
"In Los Angeles, where 560,000 Jews live, the presence of a Chabad house turns out to be a reliable predictor of ideological diversity."
Santa Monica, California, United States
"The red areas are darker and larger now, and the neighborhood is essentially purple until the Santa Monica Freeway."
