JPPI’s Voice of the Jewish People Index

JPPI’s Voice of the Jewish People Index

JPPI’s Voice of the Jewish People Index is an ongoing analytic survey conducted among thousands of Jews in the United States who are registered members of a panel assembled under the auspices of the Institute’s Diane and Guilford Glazer Information and Consulting Center.

The panel does not constitute a representative sample of the entire U.S. Jewish population, but it includes participants from all points of the Jewish identity spectrum and allows JPPI to identify trends, positions, and differences among U.S. Jews according to religious affiliation, emotional proximity to Israel, political identity, connection to Judaism, and more.

Main Findings

  • A new record for the share of liberal Jews who feel that Israel’s military actions in Gaza are too aggressive – more than half hold this view.
  • Most respondents feel that the Biden administration did not perform well in the struggle against antisemitism; only half of Jewish Harris voters think that President Biden did a good job in this sphere.
  • Jewish Trump supporters believe that Trump will perform well with regard to fighting antisemitism; Jewish Harris supporters feel that he will not perform well.
  • Nearly half of the respondent panel reports that when traveling abroad they conceal signs of their Jewishness.
