The English

Western MI is like 50-60% Republican. The South alone, let alone UT etc, makes English Americans 60%+

Swiss, are the most conservative, no contest.  A large portion are Amish which are the most socially conservative group.  I'm not sure if most Amish vote, but their views are very traditional.  

English, Scots-Irish, and Dutch are likely the next most conservative.  English are disproportionately southern, the region with the most conservative whites, and Mormons tend to be English too.  Scots Irish are similar, but more recent to the Republican coalition as the Appalachians flipped solid R only fairly recent.  Highly Dutch counties in the midwest like Sioux and Ottawa are deeply conservative due to Dutch influence.  

German Americas are likely the next most conservative, huge pro Trump trends occurred in the heavily German midwest.  

Scandinavian Americans are ancestrally Dem, as can be seen in areas like Northern MN, but there is definitely a big Republican trend, as can be seen by the fact 2/3 of the Republican's 2018 gains were Scandinavian districts in MN.

"White ethnics" like Polish Catholics and Italians are probably less republican than Germanic ethnicities but I think they have recently trended R.  Italians were a big part of the Republican trend in Long Island and southern NJ in 2016.  

Irish (Catholics) are probably the least conservative white European group.  This is due to their concentration in New England, the area with the most liberal whites.  Irish outside of New England probably lean Republican, but the New England factor is what effects their overall numbers.  This group is one I think Republicans have the most room to grow with.  I think Irish are more ancestrally Dem than left wing ideologically.  

The most liberal whites of course are Jews, but they aren't a European ethnic group...

It's interesting how little diaspora in America resemble their home nations.  England, the Netherlands, and Germany are quite progressive nations while their American diaspora are so conservative.  Ireland, Poland, and Italy are to the right of places like England but their diaspora are probably to the left of the white average in America.  Jews are the most unique.  In Israel jews vote for right wing, anti-immigration politicians, while in America they are the most left, especially on cultural issues.  Part of this is due to differences in religiosity but there are probably other factors too.  Secular Jews in Israel are still quite nationalistic.

I mean, I'd definitely define as a European ethnic. My ancestors lived on the Shetl for 1500 years after all.

Middle Eastern origins though.  Just like black americans won't ever become a native american ethnic group.

I guess? But idk, imo it's kind of a different scenario.
