Traditionally, Jews have voted for the Democratic candidate in national and local elections. In 2008, exit polls showed that 78% of Jewish voters voted for Barack Obama. Of all identifiable American voting groups, only African-Americans voted for Obama at a higher percentage. Will they do so again? This presentation explores the manner in which Jewish geography and demographics coincide so that Jews, who only constitute about 2% of all Americans, manage, because of the Electoral College system, to be a force in American politics. This presentation also looks at such questions as: Are Jews becoming more Republican, as the Republican Jewish Coalition claims, or are they likely to remain loyal to the Democratic Party? What are the most important issues to Jews when they vote for president. Ira M. Sheskin, Ph.D., is the Director of the Jewish Demography Project of the Sue and Leonard Miller Center for Contemporary Judaic Studies at the University of Miami and, a Professor of Geography and Regional Studies at the same institution. He is frequently quoted in the American press, both secular and Jewish, on topics related to the Jewish vote. |
