As we enter the Jewish New Year, the Jewish Electorate Institute (JEI)  is pleased to launch our new JEI CONNECTIONS, a regular look at the issues, data, and political dynamics shaping the American Jewish electorate.

At a time when the political landscape is changing rapidly, understanding what Jewish voters are thinking and what is driving those views has never been more important. Our goal is to bring data and analysis to the conversation, providing a clearer picture of the priorities, concerns, and perspectives of Jewish voters across the country.

Please join us for a special high-holiday briefing on Thursday, September 24, 2026, at 1:00 PM. The registration link and information are below. 

What Are Jewish Voters Thinking?

We hope  you will join us for a special high-holiday briefing featuring our pollsters, the Mellman Group, with a report of our latest poll taken jus before Rosh Hashanah. They will present the latest findings from our research on the Jewish electorate.

The briefing will explore what Jewish voters are saying about the issues that matter most to them, how their views are evolving, and what the latest data tells us about the political landscape heading into the New Year. There are red flags for both sides of the aisle.

Here is the registration information:

Jewish Voter Preferences | Jewish Electorate Institute

Irrespective of individual political leanings, participation in our democracy is a core Jewish value and an essential aspect of Jewish American identity. Utilizing media resources, JEI crafts tailored messaging aimed at specific segments of the Jewish electorate. During elections, JEI reaches out to all Jewish voters—including newly eligible and millennial voters—through social media, providing information about voter registration, polling locations, and the importance of civic engagement. 

JEI provides the best available data on the American Jewish electorate. JEI commissions non-partisan polls of Jewish voters exploring the nuances of issues related to Jewish voting behavior. This helps to inform public discourse in advance of elections, including with which political parties Jewish voters identify, about which issues Jewish voters care most when casting their ballots,  which key public figures they view favorably and unfavorably, and where they stand on key issues at any given time.
