Jewish Americans score Democratic presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton at virtually the same high approval ratings.
Gallup says in a March 24 article that an aggregation of Jewish respondents to its daily polling shows Jewish voters favor Sanders, an Independent Vermont senator, at 61 percent favorable, and Clinton, a former secretary of state, at 60 percent.
Sanders’ unfavorable ratings are 30 percent and Clinton’s are 35 percent.
Among Republican presidential candidates, only Ohio Gov. John Kasich has higher favorable than unfavorable ratings among Jewish voters, 45 percent to 28 percent. Kasich is last among candidates with delegates accumulated in the primaries.
The GOP front-runner, Donald Trump, a real estate magnate, scores 72 percent unfavorable to 24 percent favorable, and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, 72 percent unfavorable to 20 percent favorable.
Gallup does not cite a margin of error, but says it had aggregated “a large sample of interviews” with Jewish respondents since January.
