United Kingdom General Elections: December 12th, 2019

[SInNYC]

Have Jews historically been a strongly Conservative demographic, or was there a big swing to the Tories due to Corbyn among them?

From what I understand they were Labour voters until the 1970s, then embraced Thatcher (who represented a very Jewish constituency), voted for Blair and Brown, and then swung away from Labour under Miliband.

According to this poll (https://www.spectator.co.uk/2015/04/how-ed-miliband-lost-the-jewish-vote/) Jews planned to vote 69-22 Tory over Millibrand even though Millibrand was of Jewish origin (though secular).

The above poll said they voted 63-26 Tory over Corbyn in 2017. So, if both polls are accurate (and they almost certainly are not), Jews actually swung slightly towards Corbyn.

The corbyn one is based upon data, the 2015 one is a poll. I would presume jews voted more for millibrand than for corbyn.

The corbyn one is based on a poll following a panel, while the 2015 one is a pre-election poll. Both are based on self-reported data from randomly selected samples, though selected in different ways. There is no such thing as data (in the context you say it) and everything is a poll as long as we have closed ballots.
