I wonder about the 71/27 result from 1976 as well. In Brookline, MA for example, Ford won 39.9% compared to Nixon's 37.1% in 1972 and Reagan's 30.4% in 1980. I think idea that Jews swung strongly to Reagan in 1980 is a conservative myth: Jews did reject Carter in large numbers in 1980, but many of the defectors went to Anderson, not Reagan.
As for 1992, Clinton's centrist campaign appealed I'm sure, but you also had the prominence of Patrick J. Buchanan in the 1992 GOP campaign that year, which probably scared off a lot of Jews.
