Anti-Trump Poll

Jim Gerstein was cited at Raw Story on May 14, 2025 in an article titled "More than half of Jewish voters think Trump is antisemitic: new research" related to a GBAO poll[2] that found that "[M]ore than half of U.S. Jewish voters think Donald Trump is antisemitic and nearly three-quarters consider him dangerous..."

Excerpt:[3]

"“This poll shows the intensity of concern that American Jews have about Trump, believing that he is dangerous and doing things that increase antisemitism,” said Jim Gerstein of GBAO Strategies, who conducted the poll for the Jewish Voters Resource Center (JVRC), a nonpartisan group.
“Perhaps the most striking poll result is that half of Jewish voters believe Donald Trump is antisemitic.”

Speaking to reporters, Gerstein said: “We dug deep on antisemitism … how it's playing out in this country. Concerns over antisemitism are still very high. Jews in America are very concerned about antisemitism. But It is noteworthy that these levels of concern which which rose significantly after October 7 [when Hamas attacked Israel] have now, over time … receded back to the levels that they were at pre-October 7.
“That's not to say there's not concern. There is high concern. It's just receded a bit, and now … the concerns are much higher among older Jews than younger Jews.
“Part of what's going on is that Jewish voters believe that the actions that the Trump administration is taking, statements that the President is making, statements and actions of others in his administration, that these things actually increase antisemitism … it is very striking that a lot of things that are being done in the name of combating antisemitism, Jews in America actually think that these things increase antisemitism instead of reduce antisemitism.”

Gerstein said Jewish voters had expressed “overwhelming opposition to President Trump’s domestic and foreign policy agenda after his first 100 days in office.
“They strongly oppose Trump’s signature policies and proposals.”
