  1. I’m curious about the source for the statistics cited in this article. The ‘up to 10% of eligible Jewish voters’ who will be sitting out the election the 3-5% of Jewish voters who will vote for a 3rd party candidate, etc. Where do these numbers come from?

    And, given the fact that the great majority of Jewish voters are Democrats, is the fact that a large number of them are actively campaigning for Hillary Clinton anything out of the ordinary?

  2. The data on likely non voters is extracted from a number of surveys and studies both generic to the campaign and specific to the Jewish community. Clearly, until we have exit polling data from the November elections we will not have a more exact set of numbers concerning Jewish voter participation.

    The mobilization efforts on the part of the Democratic Party and certain Jewish organizations to mobilize swing state voters has taken on a more intensive effort in this campaign, based on the number of organizations and individuals now involved. A part of the expanded Jewish reaction is based on specific concerns over Donald Trump’s candidacy.

  3. Even assuming this data to be accurate, it appears less like “emerging trends” than responses to the unprecedended conditions of this election year. They will only become trends if they continue in future elections.

  5. I’m sorry, but this appears to be largely based upon some mix of anecdotal information, speculation, and opinion. I’m surprised it’s being presented as data, because, simply put, it’s not.
