From Fox News: Former President Trump has moved into the lead among Jewish voters in deep-blue New York.

Trump garnered the support of 50% of likely Jewish voters in New York, according to a Siena Research Institute poll released Tuesday, a slight lead over Vice President Harris who garnered the selection of 49% of respondents.

While the lead for Trump is slim, it marks a dramatic change from the former president’s prospects against President Biden, who in June led Trump among likely Jewish voters, 52%-46%, in the state.

However, the race has changed dramatically since the last poll, with Biden opting last month to drop out of the race and immediately endorse Harris, who quickly worked to secure the Democrat nomination.

The report notes that Jewish voters have traditionally supported Democrat candidates for decades, and adds, “Jewish voters have on average supported Democrats over Republicans by a margin of 71% to 26% since 1968.”

Trump is also leading Harris in Long Island by 6 points.

However, the poll indicates that overall, Harris is ahead in New York by 14 points.

The Siena College Research Institute poll was conducted between July 28 and Aug. 1 – before Harris announced her VP pick – and surveyed 1,199 likely voters in New York, 8% of whom were Jewish.
