A new poll shows Clinton’s favorability has recently dipped among Jewish voters in New York, although she still has an overall lead in the community and in the state. The study conducted last week by Siena College Research Institute showed Clinton’s lead sliding from 51 percent in August to 45 percent, while Trump’s support grew from 25 percent to 31 percent.
Although Jews represent a small percentage of the U.S. population, according to JNS, over 90 percent of Jews will be voting—significantly higher than the 74 percent of Americans who are projected to vote. This makes the Jewish vote especially important in swing states like Florida and Ohio. New York is also a key state for the 2016 election, holding 29 electoral votes, the third largest after California and Texas.
Overall, the Siena poll shows Clinton has a significant lead, especially among the African and Latino communities, where she has over 80 percent in favor of her. Clinton also has a lead amongst Protestants in New York, with 57 percent to 30 percent in favor for Clinton to Trump. Only 12 percent of Latinos view Trump favorable, and his support amongst African Americans is just a mere 1 percent. The poll also looked at other groups including Catholics, Protestants, male, female, and the white community. Clinton and Trump are both seen more unfavorably among the white community, with 60 percent viewing Trump negatively, and 58 percent of whites seeing Clinton unfavorably.
In a comparison between all four presidential candidates, Clinton still holds the lead at 21-points, down from the 25-point lead in August in a poll of likely New York State voters. Trump has 30 percent, Gary Johnson is at 8 percent, and Jill Stein is at 3 percent.
WTF? This is way off base. The average is more like 55-60% unless the RATS are working a narrative to account for 10-15% fraud, I don't see this as anywhere near to being accurate.
Can anyone confirm/verify this or provide support?
What in here is so new that you say uh oh?
Did you expect DIFFERENT from NY?
I’m kinda shocked, considering your vast experience. .
When Trump takes NY, the BITCH is DEAD...Ding Dong ...
I think the poster was being facetious, but it really is an extraordinarily dangerous time.
They aren't going to give up power easily.
Oh, I thought he meant uh oh as in we are in danger of losing NY uh oh.
That’s a given. The switch among Jews is good news indeed. Could be very helpful in FL if the trend is everywhere.
NY, NJ and PA ain’t gonna happen. These are not Reagan times.
But OH, FL, CO, NV, NH, ME, Iowa, All will go Trump and we will win!!!! VA and some others are tight too!
If Trump can get 31 percent of the Jewish vote in NY, NY is in play.
I have to disagree totally, but I admire your optimism.
I live here. It ain’t happening.
So many states are, so it’s of no consequence.
Does this mean Shrillary won’t get 100% of the ballots cast in that one Hasidic voting district like she did during her Senate run? /s
Yeah, so instead of 92 percent of them Jews voting blindly democrat, what, 91 percent will?
A five percent increase in those voting for Trump among the Jewish NYS populations (which is 10 percent of the state population) equals a .5 percent move in Trump’s direction overall for the state.
But I have no crystal ball, you are right. I KNOW I am voting for him
Trump!!!!!!!!
The only hope for Jewry is a return to the faith of their fathers; there is no other way out of the galut (Exile). This would mean that our politics would sympathize with tha righteousness of the
Torah. It would make the Jewish community a stalwart, bedrock Conservative voting block. Instead, most of us have been seduced by the forbidden fruit of assimilation. Like the foolish masses of pre-Nazi Europe, Liberal Jews have not only assimilated; they have excelled, without Torah, and now, with the godless left make up much of the leadership of those forces that are smashing our magnificent Judeo-Christian Culture to pieces. All the while, as is certainly evident, the Left has Nothing to put in its place!
I’m a lifelong New Yorker. (Moved to FL a few years ago, at 55.) I said “in play.” Agree odds are steep, but Trump is going to make HRC work for it.
Don't think so. Especially the 'just a mere' (why didn't they word it 'only just a wee tiny little mere'?) 1 percent blacks.
That number is pure fraud.
This strikes me as one of those hybrid propaganda pieces where they throw in some truth so the paper can get something close to right, and the rest of the usual paid narrative.
NYS will Be a squeaker for Trump
Rudy G will generate just enough Support in NYC & LI to Barely win it for Trump.
Well in Philadelphia, the average is more like 110%.
When will the Jewish people stop marching their people into the ovens?
“Gary Johnson is at 8 percent”
Yeah, right... (sarc/off)
He’s on a fact finding tour in Colorado.
