...demonstrate a resurgence of conservative Republicanism, but he drew his most potent support from normally Democratic Irish, Polish, Italian (and Catholic) areas. Though Abe Beame held out the promise of becoming New York's first Jewish mayor, the usually Democratic Jewish vote went heavily for Lindsay-particularly in upper-income neighborhoods...
