    The figure is more than 10 percent lower than the president’s overall approval rating of 42 percent, according to a Gallup poll taken from Jan. 20, the day Trump was sworn in, to March 15.

    Gallup points out that Jews appear to be reacting to Trump along party lines. Some 64 percent of Jews identify with or lean toward the Democratic Party, according to data from the same time period, and 29 percent identify with or lean toward the Republican Party.

    Gallup also points out that Trump has sent “mixed signals to American Jews about their position in the country and his administration’s stance toward Israel.” Among the issues was being slow to denounce a pronounced wave of anti-Semitism and failing to mention Jews in the administration’s Holocaust Remembrance Day statement, as well as appointing a pro-settlements ambassador to Israel but then calling on Israel to “hold off” on building in settlements.

    Trump has a “significant opportunity to boost his image among Jews, Americans and the world,” Gallup reports.”During the campaign, Trump talked about using his negotiating skills, and those of (his son-in-law Jared) Kushner, to reach a peace deal between the Israelis and Palestinians. If Trump accomplishes what his predecessors could not by negotiating a peace deal, this could certainly affect his approval rating not only among American Jews but among all national adults.”

    Oh really? by now we all know how these polls are so skewed that it is pathetic.
    It also pains me that a Yiddishe News site should also be so carried away with these left leaning articles when it come to President Donald J. Trump. Am I saying that everything he does is good? absolutely not, but all I read hear are negative articles and articles that insinuate failure on the part of our elected Commander in Chief, and yet any positive action taken on the part of the President are almost always totally ignored! Why? Why do you do this?

    Makes sense. The intermarriage rate amongst American Jews has been so high for so long r”l, not to mention all the questionable ‘conversions’ of rabbis like Rackman and Lookstein and Weiss that almost a third of self-identifying Jews not being Jewish lehalachah seems no longer in serious doubt.

    True yiddin are bishanim, rachmanim and gomlei chassadim. That this third of American ‘Jews’ fail the litmus test of membership in klal yisrael by their support of the anti-busha, anti chessed, anti rachamim sector of far right extremist Trumpublican party, the party that self identifies as the party of the Greedy Old Politicians is not surprising.

    Unfortunately you are talking to people that have a narrative to disseminate, thus facts have no meaning and consequences to them, or at least so they think, Nebach.
