Having conducted a major poll of American Jewish voters and their political opinions, Jesse Arm sorts through the results. Unsurprisingly, Jews still favor the Democrats; however, Arm writes, even Jewish Democrats are growing uncomfortable with their party:

The Democratic advantage among Jewish voters has been consistently slipping in recent presidential election cycles, and Harris is on track for the narrowest margin of victory with Jewish voters (+36 percent) of any candidate since Michael Dukakis in 1988 (+29 percent).

Despite their overall Democratic lean, Jewish voters are more likely to report high levels of concern over growing anti-Semitism in the Democratic party than within the Republican party. “Security, Israel, and anti-Semitism” are Harris’s weakest issue relative to former President Donald Trump among Jewish voters. Many are likely uncomfortable with the Democratic party’s tolerance of voices that criticize Israel in extreme terms, such as labeling the country “genocidal.” This is evidenced by the fact that Jews are almost universally supportive of Israel—a mere 5 percent of Jewish voters say they are not supporters of the Jewish state.

While Jewish voters are strongly aligned with Democrats on the issue of abortion—even a majority of Jewish Republicans describe themselves as generally pro-choice—their views on immigration and fiscal issues don’t match either party. . . . On crime, Jewish voters more closely align with Republicans and feel the nation’s criminal-justice system is not tough enough.

In October, a young Mauritanian national murdered an Orthodox Jewish man on his way to synagogue in Chicago. This alone should be sufficient sign of the rising dangers of anti-Semitism. Nathan Diament explains how the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act (AAA) can, if passed, make American Jews safer:

We were off to a promising start when the AAA sailed through the House of Representatives in the spring by a generous vote of 320 to 91, and 30 senators from both sides of the aisle jumped to sponsor the Senate version. Then the bill ground to a halt.

Fearful of antagonizing their left-wing activist base and putting vulnerable senators on the record, especially right before the November election, Democrats delayed bringing the AAA to the Senate floor for a vote. Now, the election is over, but the political games continue.

You can’t combat anti-Semitism if you can’t—or won’t—define it. Modern anti-Semites hide their hate behind virulent anti-Zionism. . . . The Anti-Semitism Awareness Act targets this loophole by codifying that the Department of Education must use the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s working definition of anti-Semitism in its application of Title VI.
