| abstract | - Jews have for a long time been primarly identified with the Democratic party. In recent times there has been a trend among Jewish voters to support the Republican party in larger numbers than they had in the past. Jewish Republicans are sometimes associated with The Republican Jewish Coalition, which was founded in 1985, and is the sole voice of Jewish Republicans to Republican decision makers and the Jewish community. The recent growth of Jewish Republicans can be seen in how in 1992 only 11% of Jews voted Republican, in 1996 16% of Jews voted Republican, in 2000 19% of Jews voted Republican, and how in 2004 the percent of Jews who voted Republican was 25%, more than twice as much as it had been in 1992.
