In a recent poll, a significant majority of American Jews express confidence in Vice President Kamala Harris's ability to manage the ongoing Israel-Hamas war more effectively than former President Donald Trump. This survey, conducted by CHIP50 for Forward, reveals that 54% of respondents believe Harris would handle the situation "definitely" or "probably" better than Trump, while only 36% support the Republican candidate in this regard. This sentiment indicates a broader trend among the American Jewish community towards Harris as they prepare for the upcoming 2024 election.
The survey also reveals that despite the preference for Harris, many Jewish respondents perceive Trump as more supportive of Israelis, with 65% expressing that he "only" or "mostly" supports Israeli interests, in contrast to 34% who believe the same of Harris. Additionally, 14% feel that Trump "only" or "mostly" supports Palestinian people, compared to 25% for Harris. This nuanced view reflects the complex landscape of Jewish political sentiment in the U.S.
The CHIP50 poll, which surveyed 907 Jewish adults between August 20 and October 8, has a margin of error of ±3.3%. It suggests a significant shift in Jewish voters' alignment, as many are reconsidering their support in light of rising antisemitism and the broader implications of the Israel-Palestine conflict.
As the election approaches, the dynamics between Harris and Trump may continue to evolve, particularly given the sensitive nature of the Israel-Hamas conflict and its implications for American foreign policy. The poll results indicate a critical moment for Jewish voters as they weigh their options and the future of their representation in government.
