NEW POLL on the Jewish Vote and the Midterms

May 21, 2026

A new poll of Jewish voters was released today, and it shows that Jewish voters will continue to serve as an essential component of a winning Democratic coalition. Jewish Americans can and will make the difference in the midterms, rejecting Trump’s extremism and delivering victory for Democrats in November.

According to the new national poll released by the non-partisan Jewish Voters Resource Center (JVRC), 72% of Jewish voters disapprove of Donald Trump, and 67% plan to vote Democratic in the midterms. Our work in past elections has proven that when races are close and there is a large Jewish population, the Jewish vote plays a critical role in ensuring Democrats win. The poll demonstrates that Jewish voters will help Democrats take back the House and the Senate in November. 

The fact that 67% of our community plans to vote for Democrats is an incredible start. But we want to drive that number up even higher before November.

Help get out Jewish voters in support of Democrats who share our values. With your help, we can take back the House and the Senate.

New Poll of Jewish Voters

Contrary to what we hear every election cycle, Jewish voters remain firmly Democratic. That’s because the Democratic Party is the only party that aligns with our community’s core values, and that was reflected in JVRC’s poll.

Here’s what else we learned from this new poll:

  • 52% of Jewish voters think Trump is antisemitic
  • 68% think Trump is racist, and 74% believe he is corrupt
  • The future of democracy and cost of living are the top issues for Jewish voters

Jewish voters are ready to reject Trump and help flip control of Congress by electing more Democrats across the country, and JDCA will play a leading role in ensuring Jewish voter turnout. But how many races we can impact, and how many voters we can reach, depends entirely on supporters like you.

Help us ensure Democrats flip the House and Senate blue. We’ve done it before and will do it again with your support.

In solidarity,
