The more Orthodox Jews tend to be more conservative politically. They tend to be pro-life and anti-gay marriage, among other things. I was involved with the Young Republicans back in 1980. The night before the election we set up a “goon squad” plastering the Hasidic areas of Monsey and New Square with Reagan posters with his name spelled out in Hebrew(I should’ve kept a couple of them, they would interesting collectibles today). They overwhelmingly went for Pres Reagan and also in 84. Since then, with the exception of Elliot Engle, Bill and Hilary, and John Hall’s first term(NY19) and even then by a razor-thin margin, only because the Hasidim in Orange Cty were POed at Sue Kelly, the Orthodox around here, although a small voting bloc, lean right.

...and to corroborate your point, a conservative Republican beat a Jewish Democrat in Weiner’s old district in Brooklyn/Queens, mainly on the strength of the ortho Jewish vote.
