According to the iVote Israel poll, Trump beat Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton 49 percent to 44 percent. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson garnered 2 percent of the votes.

Approximately 250,000 American citizens are living in what some cynically call the “51st state” because of the special bond between Israel and the United States

Support for Trump was stronger among religious Jewish immigrants from the United States; 63 percent of the Orthodox participants in the survey and 85 percent the ultra-Orthodox respondents voted for Trump while 75 percent of secular and 54 percent of traditional respondents voted for Clinton, according to the poll.
