Gallup: Trump approval rating among US Jews is 31 percent

[DavidDvorkin]

The figure is more than 10 percent lower than the president’s overall approval rating of 42 percent, according to a Gallup poll taken from Jan. 20, the day Trump was sworn in, to March 15.

1. Wassup with the 31%???

Are WE nuts TOO?

[brucefan]

2. Sounds kinda high! n/t

[Moliere]

3. This was always a story of the election that baffled me

One would think his anti-semitism and hiring of Nazis would immediately disqualify him in the eyes of any Jewish person

[Fast Walker 52]

5. yeah, I know... but he's so strong on Israel blah blah blah

Plus, his daughter and son-in-law are Jewish!

[Bleacher Creature]

4. Insanity.

At best, he's condoned a new wave of open anti-semitism in the U.S. At worst, he's fed it and used it to round up support.

Any approval level above ZERO is disgusting.

6. Agree, but there are a lot of very right-wing Jews

Sheldon Adelson, David Horowitz, Mark Levin, etc

I bet the 31% is the % of hard right jews in the country.

7. His overall approval is 37% now not 42

[DavidDvorkin]

8. Haredi Jews vote like evangelical Christians

They have the same social and political attitudes. I think that has much more to do with it than support for Israel.

11. Shhh...don't harsh people's buzz, dude!

Don'tcha know, when it comes to Jews, it is always about Israel?! (I know you know I am being sarcastic, but there are those who just don't "get it", thus, the "disclaimer".)

[DavidDvorkin]

13. Indeed

DU has a serious problem.

9. Let me word this a different way. 70% of US Jews detest trump, and his henchmen.

I am one of those Jews who despise him, and I think that number is higher than the poll indicates

[Cha]

14. Who wouldn't who cared about our Country, her people, and

the Planet?

Mahalo, stillone

10. Maybe the ones who voted for him will change

their minds when their other fellow Trump voters do not give a shit that they voted for Trump the only thing that counts is the pure fact they are Jewish and need to be destroyed. Ivanka's husband is not a very good Jewish person if he supports hate against his own kind.

[Behind the Aegis]

12. Honestly, I doubt he gives a shit.

Most people don't care about the Jews, our opinions, needs, or concerns. We are only of interest to them when it comes to money and votes, and until those things are needed, then many actively ignore us or even harangue us.

15. That number sounds about more where it should be.

Then again I think Jews are are a little more attuned to this type of crap.
