Poll: Jewish Voters Favor Republicans over Democrats by Nearly Two to One
Recent polling data indicates two significant shifts in the lead-up to the midterm elections. Nationally, a survey by McLaughlin & Associates reports that Republicans hold a 64 percent to 33 percent lead among Jewish voters for congressional seats, potentially signaling a major shift in a demographic that has historically leaned toward the Democratic Party. Meanwhile, in Texas, state representative James Talarico and Attorney General Ken Paxton are locked in a statistical tie for a U.S. Senate seat, with several polls placing Talarico within the margin of error as early voting numbers reach record highs.
