A survey of 1,000 Jewish voters released yesterday by the Jewish Electorate Institute shows 73 percent of registered voters believe Jewish Americans are less secure than they were two years ago, at least in part, respondents said, because of the way President Trump has handled anti-Semitism, the Religion News website reports today (May 23, 2019).
The poll, conducted by Greenberg Research, shows 71 percent disapprove of Trump's response to anti-Semitism.
Nearly 60 percent believe he bears at least some responsibility for last year's shooting at Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh and last month's shooting at a synagogue in Poway, near San Diego.
"We have a Jewish community, not under siege, but facing great insecurity, blaming President Trump for a lot of it, becoming very engaged and politicized by it, and prioritizing a range of domestic issues that align them to vote Democratic in 2020," said Stan Greenberg, a longtime pollster for Democrats.
