THE JEWISH VOTE

“If there is one lesson to come out of [last] week’s controversy over Jerusalem and the Democratic Party platform, it’s this,” says Dr. Rafael Medoff, director of The David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies, and coauthor of the new book “Herbert Hoover and the Jews: The Origins of the Jewish Vote and Bipartisan Support for Israel,” both parties believe the Jewish vote could be an extremely important factor in this year’s presidential election. And they’re right.”

The percentage of Jewish voters in
several swing states:
2% of the national population
6% – 8% in Florida  
4% in Pennsylvania
2% – 3% in Ohio
