Jewish voters in New York state have boosted support for President Donald Trump from a solid 46% in last November’s presidential election, to a spectacular 57% approval in a Siena College poll in late June.

The survey of 800 registered voters also found that 42% of Jewish New Yorkers disapprove of the president’s performance, for a positive 15 percentage points.

Among all registered New York voters, President Trump is underwater by 20 percentage points, at 59% disapprove and 39% approve.

Jewish voters are the only racial, religious or ethnic group in the state enthusiastic about President Trump’s policies and accomplishments five months into his highly successful second term.

Catholic New Yorkers are statistically tied at 49% approve and 50% disapprove.

Protestant voters are at 60% disapprove and 38% approve, or a negative 22 percentage points.

White New Yorkers are at 51% disapprove and 47% approve, or four percentage points underwater.

Black voters are at 79% disapprove and 19% approve, for a highly anomalous negative 60 percentage points.

Hispanic New Yorkers are at 67% disapprove and 26% approve, for a negative 41 percentage points.

In last year’s presidential election, according to Fox News/Associated Press/University of Chicago exit polling, 71% of voters in the no-longer Empire State were White; 12%, Black; 11%, Hispanic; and 8%, Jewish.

The Siena poll also included more than a dozen questions about voters’ support, or lack thereof, for President Trump’s specific policies.

On immigration, Jewish New Yorkers are at 61% approve and 39% disapprove, for a positive 22 percentage points.

All registered voters are at 54% disapprove and 45% approve, for a negative 9 percentage points.

On President Trump’s handling of the Israel-Iran War, in a poll taken right after the Israel Defense Forces' 12-day decimation of Iran’s military, Jewish voters give Trump a resounding 64% approval and 28% disapproval.

Among all New York voters, 54% oppose and 40% support.

Similarly, President Trump’s ordering the bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities on June 21 is supported by 63% of Jews and 22% opposed.

All registered voters are at 38% support and 46% oppose.

Unsurprisingly, Jewish New Yorkers agree with neighbors in not reducing federal government’s food subsidies for poor Americans.

Statewide, only 23% of registered voters support reductions while 66% oppose.

Jews are at 19% support and 69% oppose.

Protestants are at 22% support for food aid reductions and 67% oppose

Catholics are at 29% support and 60% oppose.

Very encouragingly, Jewish New Yorkers still heed the Prophet Isaiah’s admonition (58:7) from 2,700 years ago "to share your bread with the hungry."

In the month since the Siena poll, Jewish New Yorkers have seen two other positive developments in battling antisemitism.

There has been an 18% decline in antisemitic crimes in New York City from 203 in the first half of 2024, to 167 in the first half of 2025, according to the NYPD.

However, they account for a grossly disproportional 55% of 303 bias crimes, while 16 anti-Muslim crimes represent 5%.

Secondly, Columbia University in upper Manhattan reached an agreement with the Trump administration on July 23 to pay the government $200 million and Jewish employees $21 million to end multiple federal investigations by pledging “to reverse racially discriminatory practices and resolve civil rights violations against Jewish students.”

The negotiations also released $400 million in federal grants to the university that President Trump had suspended.

Of the 9,354 antisemitic incidents in America in 2024, as I documented in a mid-June Newsmax article, a heinous 6%, or 583, occurred in Manhattan.

The borough’s population of 1.7 million is only one-half of 1% of America’s 340 million.

And Columbia University was America’s ground zero for antisemitic incidents last year.

In addition to their robust support for Donald Trump in last year’s election, New York’s Jewish voters proved pivotal in unseating the radical-left, anti-Israel Jamal Bowman in the Democratic primary for the 16th Congressional District in June 2024.

George Latimer, the Westchester County executive, crushed the incumbent, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), 58% to 41%.

On June 24, 2024, a temporary setback for Jewish residents of New York City occurred when Zohran Mamdani, another fanatical anti-Zionist DSA member, won the Democratic mayoral primary.

The 33-year-old state assemblyman from Queens notched an anemic 470,000 votes of the 1,072,000 cast in the first round, or 44%, in a field of 11 candidates

Disgraced former Gov. Andrew Cuomo came in second with 387,000, or 36%.

With 3,081,000 registered Democratic voters in the Big Apple this year, Mamdani got a feeble 15%.

The averages of three mayoral polls in July are Mamdani at 35%; Cuomo, 23%; Republican Curtis Sliwa, 18%; and embattled Mayor Eric Adams, 12%.

On Election Day in a few months, this writer's prediction is that Jewish New Yorkers will achieve their sixth significant victory, against the radical left and antisemitism since June 2024.

Their huge turnout and an overwhelming vote for the favorite among the other candidates will ensure this egregiously unqualified amateur won’t be the next mayor of the nation’s most populous city with 1 million Jewish residents.
