Jewish voters in New York appear to be moving away from the Democratic Party, and controversial Twitch streamer Hasan Piker blamed the shift on their support for Israel.On Wednesday, Piker responded to a CNN clip in which the network's chief data analyst, Harry Enten, and anchor John Berman discussed the drop in support for Democrats among Jewish voters, expressing his dismay that they were shifting away from the party."It’s wild that this many jewish voters are leaving the democratic party over israel.It’s not like the republican alternatives are presenting a more appealing policy agenda, it’s just israel! It’s literally over the continuation of israel’s belligerence.
A real shame," Piker wrote on X.CARVILLE WARNS DEMOCRATS ANTI-ISRAEL ‘LOUDMOUTHS’ COULD COST ELECTIONSIn the segment, Enten explained that Jewish support for New York Gov.Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, dropped since her last election in 2022, according to recent Siena Polling.
Enten then revealed that Democrats' advantage over Republicans among Jewish voters in New York had narrowed by 36 points since 2022, according to Siena Polling averages."State of New York U.S.House polling among Jewish voters.
Look at this.In 2018, Democrats were ahead by 40 points," Enten said.
"In 2022, 49 points.Look at this, the average of polls this year, its just 13 points! It's just 13 points! That is a shift of, what, 36 points, 36 points away from the Democrats.
Their lead has absolutely tumbled into the Hudson River among Jewish voters.""Yes, they are still ahead.But we are talking about historically strong numbers for Republicans among Jewish voters," the analyst added.
"It definitely seems to me that the developments over the past few years, at least in New York, at least in this polling, has had a huge impact on how Jewish voters say they are going to vote, not just for governor, but for Congress as well."HOCHUL DEFLECTS WHEN PRESSED ON TIES TO 'ANTI- CHRISTIAN' MAMDANI IN FIERY DEBATE MOMENT: 'SHAM...
