PENNSYLVANIA REPORT
An Analysis of the Jewish Electorate for the Jewish Electorate
Institute by the American Jewish Population Project
At the request of the non-partisan Jewish Electorate Institute, researchers at the American Jewish
Population Project at Brandeis University's Steinhardt Social Research Institute conducted an analysis
of hundreds of national surveys of US adults to describe the Jewish electorate in each of the 435
districts of the 116th US Congress and the District of Columbia. Surveys include the American National
Election Studies, the General Social Survey, Pew Political and social surveys, the Gallup Daily Tracking
poll, and the Gallup Poll Social Series. Data from over 1.4 million US adults were statistically combined
to provide, for each district, estimates of the number of adults who self-identify as Jewish and a
breakdown of those individuals by age, education, race/ethnicity, political party self-identification and
political ideology. The percentages of political identity are not sensitive to quick changes in attitudes that
can result from current events and they are not necessarily indicative of voting behaviors. The following
report presents a portrait of the Jewish electorate in Pennsylvania and its 18 congressional districts.¹
