Hillary Clinton Remains Heavy Favorite Among Jewish Voters Despite Support for Iran Deal
by Jacob Kornbluh
Hillary Clinton’s support for the Iran nuclear deal doesn’t seem to have greatly affected her candidacy among American Jewish voters, as a new poll indicates that the American Jewish community is equally divided on the Iran deal.
According to the poll conducted by GfK for the American Jewish Committee (AJC), when given a choice .of 14 presidential candidates, including 10 top GOP hopefuls, 39.7 percent of Jewish voters picked Clinton as their first choice for president, including 47 percent of women. Sen. Bernie Sanders, who is Jewish and is currently leading Clinton in the early primary states, is in second place with 17.8 percent, although he leads with 20.5% as second choice. Republican frontrunner Donald Trump is in third place with 10.2 percent, followed by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush with 8.7 percent of support.
Marco Rubio, Scott Walker and Chris Christie are tied in 4th place with a respective 2.7 percent.

Most of my politically-engaged Jewish gal pals support Hillary. Yes, they want PEACE and support the Iran deal!

I think Hillary has the beliefs, experience and intelligence to navigate us on a path to peace. And she will carry the Jewish vote, especially the women who are, in my experience, very intelligent and politically engaged!
I grew up in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood and many of those girls are still dear friends. They are all very liberal and most support Hillary 100%!
