Nearly two-thirds, or 63%, of poll respondents agreed that concerns about Iran’s nuclear program were best solved through diplomacy and sanctions; only 37% agreed they were best addressed with military action. Meanwhile, 58% of respondents agreed that U.S. military action against Iran weakens the U.S., rather than strengthening it.

As members of J Street’s leadership point out, the findings indicate that most Jewish Americans want peace.

“This data is a wake-up call for anyone claiming to speak for the American Jewish community while beating the drums of war,” J Street President Jeremy Ben-Ami said.

Notably, the poll also showed broad support among American Jews for conditioning aid to Israel, with 44% saying that weapons sales must comply with U.S. law and 26% saying the U.S. should cut off aid entirely.

    (Not even) 2 out of 3 is not a 'vast majority.' 9 out of 10 is a vast majority. What this article says is, the difference between Jews being 50/50 on the war is only 13%. So, there really is huge support from Jews on the war, just not the majority.

    The "vast majority of poll respondents say that Trump has no clear plan for the conflict" in the submission text is referring to this:

    "77% of respondents do not believe President Trump has a clear plan and mission for the war in Iran.

    I was going off the headline 'Most american Jews oppose the war' and using the stat for that.

    So for the stat you mentioned, 1/4 of respondents somehow think that Trump has a plan, and a clear one at that.

    Jewish Americans are only around 2% of the total voters. Thats split between republican and democrats, so like 1% each? Their votes either way are a rounding error, so I dont know why anyone cares much what they think. I think we've agonized over this tiny religious groups's political opinions much more than we should have already.

    The youth vote is huge by comparison. Maybe the democratic party would win more often if they started caring more about getting votes instead of simply getting bribes. Bribes cant win votes.
