2022 Election Polling

Since 2010, J Street has conducted Election Day polling of the American Jewish community. Despite an election season that was atypical in every way, the results of this year’s poll was largely consistent with previous findings: American Jews remain overwhelmingly liberal and supportive of Democratic approaches to domestic and foreign policy. The one major change is that “the state of democracy” now sits at the top of election concerns for American Jewish voters.

Unsurprisingly, an overwhelming majority of American Jews voted for the Democratic party in the 2022 election, decisively rejecting appeals for their support from right-wing organizations.
