I opened this with a preconceived critique of the left's (and right's for that matter) fixation on numerically irrelevant Jewish voting data. And I was wrong. This is short, accurate, and shockingly not totally irrelevant.

Jacobin has one more article to publish before they hit their broken clock ceiling.

"Though Lange doesn’t say this, his analysis mirrors what we saw during the #Sanders campaign in 2016. Where many commentators focused on black versus #whitevoters, a few more far-sighted analysts noticed that an equally relevant, if not more relevant, factor in the Sanders versus #Hillary #Clinton split among #Democratic voters was not #race but #age. Younger #blackvoters were breaking for Sanders, while older black #voters went for Clinton.

That turns out to have been not a one-off among black voters but a major portent of what’s been going on among Democrats and the #Left. We’re seeing a similar phenomenon in the #Jewish community today..."

The Generational Split Within Jewish Voters on Zohran Mamdani

If you take a closer look at the data, the generational differences within Jewish New York voters’ embrace of Zohran Mamdani looks a lot like the generational differences within black voters’ embrace of Bernie Sanders in 2016.

"Overall, the pattern is unambiguous: most white Christians – along with groups in which they constitute a majority, like the Tea Party – believe that America is on a downhill slide, while strong majorities of most other groups in the country say things are improving” (p. 87)."

But it's about the economy — always. It's NEVER about race and gender, racism and misogyny. It's about the price of eggs.

"Meanwhile, approximately six in ten Hispanic Catholics (59 percent) say the opposite – that American culture has changed for the better. Approximately six in ten (63 percent) religiously unaffiliated Americans also say American culture and way of life has changed for the better since the mid-twentieth century, as do majorities of African American Protestants (55 percent)."

"More than seven in ten (72) percent white evangelical Protestants and nearly six in ten (58 percent) white mainline Protestants say American culture and way of life has changed for the worse since the 1950s. Roughly six in ten white Catholics (58 percent) agree with their fellow white Christians that American culture has changed for the worse since the 1950s."

“The question of whether American culture has gone downhill since the 1950s divides Americans overall, with a majority (53 percent) saying it has changed mostly for the worse, compared to 46 percent who say it has changed mostly for the better. But we can see stark cleavages by race and religion."

But it's about the economy — always. It's always about the price of eggs:

In his book The End of White Christian America, Robert P. Jones notes (pp. 86-7) that Public Religion Research Institute surveyed Americans in 2015 to ask, “Since the 1950s, do you think American culture and way of life has mostly changed for the better, or has it mostly changed for the worse?”

"You want to know why Trump has a decent chance to win the presidency again? Because most white Americans support him. In the latest New York Times/Siena poll, Trump wins white voters by 52 percent to 44 percent."
