A new poll commissioned by the National Jewish Democratic Council says American Jews will still vote overwhelmingly for the Democratic presidential candidate, John Kerry, despite US President George W. Bush's policies toward Israel, which have been widely praised by the Jewish community.
The poll, released on Monday, said American Jews preferred Kerry to Bush by a 75 to 22 percent margin. The survey of 817 likely Jewish voters was conducted by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research between July 26 and 28, and has a margin of error of +/- 3.5 percent.
Respondents said in 2000 they had voted for Vice President Al Gore over Bush by a similar margin of 76 to 21 percent.
Exit polls in 2000 showed Gore won 79 percent of the Jewish vote, and Bush 19 percent.
"The White House and (President Bush's political adviser) Karl Rove in particular have expended a lot of resources on this Jewish vote. Just like with Hispanics, they've come up with zero," said Ira Forman, executive director of NJDC.
Matthew Brooks, executive director of the Republican Jewish Coalition, a rival group, discounted the survey's results since the poll was taken during the Democratic Convention in Boston.
"I discount these findings because this poll was taken right in the middle of the Democratic Convention, right in the middle of a massive deluge of Kerry press coverage," Brooks said.
"We stand firmly committed to the notion that President Bush will do substantially better among Jewish voters than he did in 2000," Brooks added.
Another survey of American Jewish opinion in January found that 31 percent of Jews would support Bush when matched with Kerry, who was not yet the nominee at the time.
The new NJDC survey said 66 percent found Kerry to be better on the issue of Israel, while 34 percent found Bush to be. Only 23 percent of respondents felt the country was moving in the right direction, while 77 percent said it was on the wrong track. Twenty-five percent approved strongly or somewhat of the way Bush is handling his job as president, while 75 percent disapproved strongly or somewhat.
A new national Zogby survey released Monday showed Kerry ahead of Bush 47 to 43 percent. Without Independent Ralph Nader and other candidates the lead stretched to 50 to 43 percent.

The poll fails to inform you that the 75% who claim to be Jews are not Jews but are the synagogue of Satan. Did you ever wonder how a self-professed Jew could support the Arabs over Israel? The truth is he is a false Jew. He is not a Jew.
Since we are on the topic of Israel. If anyone wants the straight scoop on the Arab-Israeli conflict go to www.deprogramprogram.com
It's all for naught in the long run, the Jewish people in the US are de-populating themselves, so after a few more generations will have very few descendents, ergo political influence, in the country. Whatever descendents there are in 100 years will be culturally illiterate regarding the Jewish culture and faith. IMHO
No way. I am Italian American and have yet to meet another Italian American who votes RAT. Most Italians are pro-business and conservative social values.
Henry Kissenger and Milton Friedman can't figure it out either.
Probably all the right-thinking jews are already in Israel. Most american Jews belong to the liberal plantation along with minoritties. They're too stupid to realize that conservative fundamentalist Christians are their true friends that will do anything to protect the state of Israel.
Indeed. This is like the poll that says 42% of NRA members are going to vote for the wet fart poodle boy. Dream on.
(And if they do, it makes it clear where they stand in the future.)
Riiiight. And they all have big hooked noses, and they drain the blood of Christian children for matzoh.
FYI - Bush's campaign chairman is Jewish.
President Bush would be appalled and ashamed to read some of the anti-semitism on this thread. Naked, hateful, anti-semitism. BARF.
'Ping'!

Keep offending Jews at FR, keep making nasty posts about Jews for lurkers to see, and you'll make sure Bush is not reelected. Some of the posts on this thread could convince anyone that Republicans are racist, anti-semitic, and stupid.
Jews are inproportionately in the power seats of media, govt and industry and finance...
That's the sort of crap you read at Stormfront.
they are not more talented or smarter, but they are ruthless and the Jews help one another go up the ladder....why else would the likes of Barbara Streisand make it big?......white and Christian women have to be stunningly beautiful to make it in show business....
Laughable! You may hate Barbra Strisand's politics but she is talented. Amn that fact that she was considered ugly in fact hurt her career in the beginning. PS - Most Jews are white.
We conservative patriots had better get moving...
What do have in mind? A progrom???
Sheesh! I could go to LF to read this sort of swill...
As most people here know, Reagan got 40% of the Jewish vote. Bush needs every vote he can get, Jewish or otherwise, and some just want to vent.
By the way, if you know any ugly Jews with no talent who want to make it in showbiz, let me know. Maybe I can help them get to the top.
You'd be posting to some of the same folk too.
No talent Jews?
There were a lot of jews who early on supported Hitler. Why they support socialists and communists today is beyond my ken.
Really? When??
Why they support socialists and communists today is beyond my ken.
Why do you think some Christians support socialists and communists?
