RJC Statement on Poll of Jewish Voters in Florida

August 26, 2016

Washington, D.C. – The Republican Jewish Coalition released the following statement in response to a recent poll, conducted by a Democrat firm, of Jewish voters in Florida:

“This recently released poll of Jewish voters in Florida confirms again that Jews continue to flee the Democrat Party in greater and greater numbers. Due to President Obama and Hillary Clinton’s policies, voters have seen the world fall into chaos, as well as the erosion of our close alliance with Israel. Four years after President Obama received the lowest amount of support of any Democrat from Jewish voters in decades, Democrats should be panicked to see Hillary Clinton falling even further behind.” – Matt Brooks, RJC Executive Director
