New York Jews Dumping Clinton for Sanders

32. Among the Conservative and Orthodox (this publication's readership)... maybe.

New York has a disproportionate population of the above. The Reform Jewish community - much less invested in support of Israel - is solidly behind Clinton:

Hillary Clinton Remains Heavy Favorite Among Jewish Voters Despite Support for Iran Deal

The 2015 AJC survey showed that 51 percent of Jewish voters approve of the Iran deal and 47 percent disapprove. However, there’s a significant split within the community on the issue: those who consider being Jewish very important, those who view caring about Israel as a key part of their Jewish identity, and those belonging to the traditional denominations of Judaism are far more likely to oppose the deal than others. Among those who consider their being Jewish “very” important, 61 percent disapprove of the agreement (37 percent “strongly”), while 38 percent approve it (12 percent “strongly”). In contrast, 55 percent of those for whom being Jewish is “fairly” important approve the deal (15 percent “strongly”), as do 59 percent of those for whom being Jewish is not important (22 percent “strongly”).

67 percent of Orthodox and Conservative Jews disapprove of the agreement, including 45 percent who are “strongly” against it. 54 percent of Reform and Reconstructionist Jews approve the deal, as do 69 percent of those who identify as “just Jewish.”

That said, the poll itself refutes the hyperbolic headline.
