A Generational Shift That Isn’t” (Correction)
Leonard Fein’s January 16 column “A Generational Shift That Isn’t” misstated the findings of the National Jewish Population Survey 2000-01 on political partisanship among American Jewish college students. The column should have stated that the survey found that 53% of Jewish students identify themselves as Democrats, 16% as Republicans, 14% as independents and 17% as something else.
