While American elections are free and open to vote however you want, certain groups always vote a particular way. Rural, blue-collar workers always tend to vote red. White collar, city dwellers tend to vote blue. The same can be applied to various ethnic groups across the country. That has been true for the Jewish people in America for decades, as they have largely voted Democrat for years.

But as these historic midterms approach, a shift appears to be happening among the Jewish community. New polls from McLaughlin show Jewish voters are flipping Republican this year. In fact, Jewish support for Democrats has cratered in the last couple of years. The polls show Jewish voters favor Republicans by a 64 percent to 33 percent margin. That is a shocking shift from the past, as Jewish voters have overwhelmingly supported Democrats.

Sam Markstein of the Republican Jewish Coalition says this trend has been holding steady for a few years, and it is happening in important areas.

"Key states that really pick Presidents, Republicans have made inroads with the Jewish community year after year," he says.

But why the shift? Simply put, the rise of socialist extremism in the Democrat party. Particularly, their cozying up with Islam. The Jewish voters do not feel heard, they do not feel seen, and they are having to see their party overrun with antisemitic extremists.

It is not just the swing states seeing the shift, though. It is not in red areas. It is not in Republican strongholds. It is eve happening in the Democrats own backyard.

"It is happening in these very blue areas that have supported Democrats for decades," says Markstein. "I think it will continue that was as long as the Democrats continue to be spineless."

Spineless is indeed what the Democrats have been in combatting the rise of communist ideas within the party. People like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries sit on their hands, never battling against it because they value their retention of power over actual legislation.

So, as they keep kowtowing to the extremists, this shift of what was a large portion of their base is going to continue fading.

"You moderate Democrats, reasonable Democrats...your disaffected Independents and the Republican party...they are going to be what the future holds for the Jewish community, and you will see more and more of them moving right as the left continues to leave them in the dust."

Will the shift hold up and matter in the midterms next week? No one will know for sure until Tuesday. But if this shift is indicative of anything, the Democrats might have some soul searching to do by Wednesday morning.
