The
Fox News exit polls are considered to be pretty reliable. They surveyed 120,000 voters as they left the polls.
Donald Trump did not gain much support among Jewish voters. In 2020, he received about 30% of the Jewish vote, while yesterday he received about 32% of their vote. He gained strongly in New York State, going from 30% in 2020 to 45% in 2024, but apparently that was mostly canceled in other states, although in California Trump went from
18% in 2020 to 21% this year.
When it comes to Israel, however, Trump voters are not just supporters but strong supporters.
71% of those who "strongly support" continuing aid to Israel during the war voted for Trump. 58% of those who somewhat or strongly oppose aid to Israel preferred Harris.
A similar question for Ukraine shows the answers completely flipped - most of those who favor continued aid were Harris voters, and most who oppose it are Trump voters:
Apparently, for Trump voters, supporting Israel outweighs their normal isolationist tendencies. For Harris voters, there is little support for Israel defeating Hamas and Hezbollah.
The most troubling conclusion, which has already been known but is highlighted by these questions, is that for most American Jews, Israel is not a very important factor in who they vote for. The exception is for Orthodox Jews who (before the election) were shown to be overwhelmingly pro-Trump.
