NEW YORK
Hillary Rodham Clinton scored a major victory with Jewish Democrats in New York and New Jersey last week in Super Tuesday voting.
But Barack Obama won a majority of Jewish support in Connecticut and Massachusetts — and the battle was close in California.
According to exit polls, Clinton took 65 percent of the Jewish primary vote in New York state, which she represents in the U.S. Senate, and 63 percent in neighboring New Jersey, compared to Obama’s 35 percent in New York and 37 percent in New Jersey. She captured both states in the overall voting.
But Obama made a strong showing in Connecticut, which he won, with 61 percent of the Jewish vote to 38 percent for Clinton. In Massachusetts, which Obama lost, the Illinois senator edged Clinton in the Jewish vote, 52 percent to 48 percent.
Clinton also won the night's biggest prize, a majority of the 440 delegates at stake in California, but neither candidate could claim a majority of the Golden State's Jewish voters. Clinton took 48 percent of the Jewish vote there and Obama 44 percent. John Edwards, who withdrew from the race on Jan. 30, won the support of 8 percent of Californian Jews.
On the Republican side, Jews comprised such a small percentage of voters that finding a reliable statistical snapshot of their preferences was nearly impossible.
Exit poll data were reported by MSNBC based on polling conducted by Edison/Mitofsky.

It seems that Orthodox either voted for Hillary or for 0bama in the primary, as there wasn't even enough Republican votes to report a valid sample of any sort. I expect this is likely the truth across the board with New York's Orthodox Jews in the normal election.
I did read that in 2000, 70% of the Orthodox vote went to Gore.
The stats are well-established, and there are repeated threads and posts on F.R.
The Dhim/Republican split between observant Jews vs. non-observant Jews is directly inverse: 72/28 vs. 28/72.
Or you could just google “orthodox vote republican”
