Overwhelmingly Democratic: Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Unitarians, United Church of Christ, agnostics, atheists, Muslim, Orthodox Christians, traditionally black congregations.

Lean Democratic: Catholics, Episcopalians, Lutheran, Presbyterian

Strongly Republican: all the hellfire and brimstone Protestant denominations

If you have a valid quantitative methodology other than statistical sampling to gauge public opinion, demographics, medical research, feel free to publish your idea in a reputable peer reviewed journal. Its up to you to convince insurance companies, medical researchers, and public polling companies that their statistical sampling methods are bunk and you invented a better method
 
Hello Cypress,

Holy smoke, support for Republicans in the traditionally Black evangelical Christian communities is as low as 4 to 5 percent.

That is lower than in the aggregate black population at large

Get it published in a reputable peer reviewed journal, and convince the worldwide insurance, medical, scientific, and public polling communities that statistical sampling is bunk and you have a better method.

Until you do, whatever you put in your sig line on an obscure message board is worth less than a bucket of piss

Trump is right: We Jews hate him

American Jews have a long tradition of political liberalism – polls show that we are among the most strongly liberal voting groups in American politics – for a very good reason. As an oft-persecuted minority community, we know that we fare best in pluralist societies that protect minority rights and do not scapegoat ethnic and religious minorities. And we know that, even when Christian ethnonationalists focus on other minority groups, their rhetoric almost always ends up being bad for the Jews in the end. That’s why 60% of us believe that President Trump’s rhetoric bears some responsibility for shootings at synagogues in Pittsburgh and Poway.

And we connect what he says and does to our history.

When Trump tried to ban people from Muslim countries, we remembered our expulsions and exile.

When Trump denied refugees fleeing violence and persecution, we remembered our refugees facing imminent death turned away.

When Trump blamed immigrants for crime and economic hardship, we remembered Jews being singled out and scapegoated.

When Trump refers to COVID-19 as the “Chinese Virus,” we remember Jews being attributed to diseases for centuries.

This shows up in the data. The Democratic Party’s allotment of Jewish votes went from 66% in pre-Trump 2014 to 72% in 2016, to 79% in 2018. Trump’s 2016 rise correlated with an exponential increase in hate crimes against Jews and other minority groups. Since 2016, anti-Semitic incidents have increased over 66%, leading to the most annual anti-Semitic incidents in nearly 50 years, including the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in U.S. history, the shooting at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue.

In Trump’s America, division, denigration, alienation, prejudice, and hate are standard.

Our Jewish faith is founded upon the antithesis of that.

what makes U.S. Jews politically different. Much of the answer is historical memory. Most of us, I think, know that whenever bigotry runs free, we’re likely to be among its victims.

The Trump administration is, beyond any reasonable doubt, an anti-democratic, white nationalist regime. And while it is not (yet) explicitly anti-Semitic, many of its allies are: “Jews will not replace us” chanted the “very fine people” carrying torches in Charlottesville, Va. You have to be willfully ignorant of the past not to know where all this leads. Indeed, it’s happening already: anti-Semitic incidents have soared (and my hate mail has gotten … interesting).

Jews aren’t the only people who have figured this out. Many Asian-American voters used to support Republicans, but the group is now overwhelmingly Democratic. Indian-Americans, in particular, are like American Jews: a high-income, high-education group that votes Democratic by large margins, presumably because many of its members also realize where white nationalism will take us.

In all of this, Republicans — not just Trump, but his whole party — are reaping what they sowed.

Anti-Semitism is rising in the U.S. — and many Jews blame Trump

American Jews clearly see that the hike in white supremacy goes hand in hand with the hike in anti-Semitic incidents across our country: 89 percent of AJC respondents believe the extreme political right presents a threat to Jews.

Donald Trump’s presidency has helped embolden white supremacy throughout America. He has routinely refused to condemn their hatred. At the same time as Trump often refuses to criticize far-right extremist groups, he himself has engaged in harmful rhetoric, claiming in August that any Jewish person who votes for a Democrat shows “either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty.” Throughout history, we know how deadly questions of Jewish loyalty can be.

It is no wonder that the AJC poll showed nearly three-quarters of Jewish voters disapprove of Trump’s handling of the anti-Semitism threat, with more than six in 10 showing strong disapproval. Only 22 percent of Jewish voters have a favorable opinion of Trump’s performance; 76 percent have an unfavorable opinion.
