Gustave, Traditionally, a significant majority of Jews vote the liberal/democratic ticket as have other ethnic groups such as Afro-americans and Hispanics. Generally speaking 'liberalism' in the US connotes the belief that government needs to be more involved in social issues such as poverty, health care, civil rights and job creation. Collectively, these groups comprise approx. 20%-25% of the population and Republicans can't merely ignore their impact in local or national elections. In the past few years there has been a movement to conservativism in the US and I believe the Republicans have been been more successful obtaining more support from these groups than they have seen in the past, particularly among Hispanics and Jews.
