With less than a week to go before Election Day and with nearly a third of votes cast through absentee ballots or early voting, Trump has an edge in one state, a new poll shows – Israel.

Home to nearly a quarter of a million American Jews, Israel has one of the largest concentrations of American citizens living overseas.

According to a new poll by iVoteIsrael and KEEVOON Global Research, GOP nominee Donald Trump appears poised to win among Americans living Israel, beating Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton 49% to 44%., with an additional 2% supporting Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson.

While American Jews lean strongly to the left – the last Republican to win the Jewish vote being Warren Gamaliel Harding in 1920 – American expatriates in Israel have overwhelmingly favored GOP candidates. While President Obama defeated Mitt Romney in the 2012 general election 51% to 47%, Romney crushed Obama among voters in Israel, 84% to 14%.

In 2008 McCain won by an only slightly narrower margin, picking up 76% of votes cast by absentee voters in Israel.
