The Jewish vote has had a significant effect on Presidential elections. Our votes for Franklin Roosevelt increased with each reelection, bouyed by his domestic initiatives in spite of his immigration stance. We were instrumental in the defeat of Richard Nixon in 1960, and were the only white ethnicity to vote against Ronald Reagan's reelection in 1984. Only 30% of us voted for George H.W. Bush in 1988.
