Poll: 75% of American Jews plan to vote for Biden
Three-quarters of American Jews intend to vote for Joe Biden, a survey finds.
The poll by the American Jewish Committee quizzed 1,334 American Jews over the age of 18 on their political preferences. The telephone polling was conducted September 9-October 4, it says. The margin of error is 4.2%.
It finds that 75% say they’ll vote for Biden, and 22% for Trump. Support for Trump or Biden largely seems to be linked to religious affiliation.
The AJC says: “Trump is preferred by 74% of Orthodox, 23% of Conservative, 20% of Reform, 3% of Reconstructionist, and 14% of Secular Jews. Biden is the choice of 18% of Orthodox, 72% of Conservative, 78% of Reform, 93% of Reconstructionist, and 83% of Secular Jews.”
