I don't know the exact numbers, but I do believe the vast majority of Jewish people in this country live in urban areas. I think the Democratic Party's strength among Jewish voters goes hand in hand with their general strength in urban areas. Social conservatism and populist nationalism are radioactive in urban areas and among most Jewish voters. I don't think it's too dissimilar to the Mormon repulsion to Trump's proposed Muslim ban.

Ultra-orthodox enclaves like Borough Park aside (although I'd probably bet on Hillary winning there in November), I expect Jewish voters to stand with the Democratic Party so long as the current urban/rural divide exists. That divide will almost certainly reach historic proportions this year. It would take a fundamental realignment that I cannot possibly imagine happening. If anything, the movement this year is in the opposite direction.
