Top 5 polls of the year

MILWAUKEE – We run new polls at JewishChronicle.org every two weeks and some attract more interest than others.

Below are our five most popular polls between the summers of 2016 and 2017. We’ve listed them in order of the most total votes, starting with our poll on Jewish movements. Some questioned on social media whether it’s useful to categorize the Jewish people into subsets, yet it was our most popular poll of the year.

Our other winning questions were all related to politics, demonstrating what a charged political year it has been.
