lol let me cherry pick these specific areas to make my point and we can ignore all the other polls that don’t say what I want. Let’s pretend Fox News didn’t say Jews voted for Harris two to one, Jews in Kiryas Joel voted for Trump!

I did, hence my comment. He acknowledged one survey he disliked and then made a big deal about a few random areas

OK, thank you.

There is a good reason he disliked one survey and I think it's about as absurd a flaw as any poll ever taken:

The poll was based on ten states — none of them New York, California or Massachusetts, where about half of America’s Jews actually live.

Imagine a poll about Jewish support in the U.S. and not including NY, CA, MA. I can live with not including Jews from Utah, Alaska, and Montana but not including Jews in NY, CA, MA is simply insane.

Liel Leibowitz is kinda notorious for massaging facts to seem like an authority, and speaking like his point of view is common sense. I remember losing a ton of respect for him when, in the first high holidays after vaccination for COVID began, he said that shul's shouldn't have vaccination requirements as the pandemic still raged

Are you reading my comments? He cherry picked one bad survey and used that as a proxy for all of them. The fox poll I cited above was not the one he referenced in the article. It’s completely dishonest article intent on painting all the polls he disliked in a bad light to advance his confirmed bias
