A new Associated Press–NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll finds that most Jewish adults in the United States say they do not feel well represented by major political leaders. Across party lines, respondents report limited levels of support from both the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, and President Donald Trump.
The poll results show that only small minorities of Jewish Americans say they feel supported “extremely well” by either major party. About 15% of Jewish Americans say the Democratic Party supports them extremely well, while about 16% say the GOP supports them extremely well. The findings also indicate that many Jewish respondents do not believe Trump represents them well.
Overall, the survey suggests that political representation for Jewish Americans is perceived as weak regardless of party affiliation. The results are drawn from the AP–NORC Center’s new polling release and reflect how Jewish adults view the responsiveness of both parties and the president.
