(JEWISH GROUP) Half of American Jewish voters believe Trump is antisemitic, poll finds

About half of American Jews describe President Donald Trump as antisemitic, while only a minority think his campus crackdown is reducing antisemitism, according to a new survey.

American Jews are also broadly critical of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and fewer of them say they feel an attachment to Israel than before the current Israel-Hamas war, according to the survey.

The survey of Jewish registered voters, conducted by the polling firm GBAO Strategies, found that 52% of respondents say the word “antisemitic” describes the president very or somewhat well.

In addition, 74% of respondents disapprove of the job Trump is doing as president, while 26% approve. Close to 70% said the words “fascist” and “racist” describe him very or somewhat well.

It is how he sees the world across the board. He stereotypes women, people of every race and ethnicity, and people of different incomes. He even stereotypes white people.

Of course he is an antisemite. Why would he not see Jews through the prism of a slur when he sees everyone else who isn’t a rich white person that way?
