Newsflash: McCain Wins Huge Landslide Among US Citizens In Israel (76% Vote McCain)
Israel Matzav | 10/30/2008 | Israel Matzav

Posted on 10/30/2008 10:33:59 AM PDT by goldstategop

I keep telling you all that Republican candidate John Sidney McCain would win a much higher percentage of the votes of American citizens who live in Israel than any of the polls were showing. I was right.

The exit polls show a very strong preference for John McCain over Barack Obama. The polls, carried out and analyzed by Keevoon, a Jerusalem-based research, strategy and communications firm, indicate that 76% of the polled voters in Israel said they voted for Republican candidate John McCain; 24% said they cast their ballot in favor the Democrat, Barack Obama. The information is based on data collected from 817 absentee voters at several voting events in Jerusalem and Tel-Aviv as well as an online survey.

And I was right about the reasons too.

A few interesting figures about the voters:

*

A clear correlation was noted between religious observance and voting pattern.

* Turnout among young voters ages 18 to 34 was high (37%)

* 31% were first-time voters

* 25% have lived in Israel for more than 15 years, 33% less than one year

* 52% are also Israeli citizens

* Half are either independent or not registered with either party

...

46% of Democrats crossed party lines to vote for McCain.

Only 2% of Republicans voted for Obama.

And 57% listed foreign policy (including Israel) as the most important factor in their consideration; 14% listed the economy; 7%, Iran; and 6%, the war in Iraq/terrorism.

Nearly two-thirds were 'very concerned' with Iran; 93% agreed that a nuclear Iran would be a threat to the U.S.

Someone please get these figures to all those misguided American Jews who think Barack Hussein Obama is best for Israel.

Bob Wexler will have no comments on this poll.

It won't happen here... but McCain won by a landslide... in Israel. This article should be in the Bloggers Forum but we all need to hear good news so it goes on the Free Republic main board. Pray for our country, people!

They need to phone bank for McCain to American Jewish voters like the Palestinians are doing for 0.

“It won’t happen here... but McCain won by a landslide... in Israel.”

It may get some folks in FL thinking though. And every vote counts down there.

Yeah, well, they must not be totally suicidal. But what about the other 24 percent of the Israelis? Don’t they realize that they will be good and screwed if BO takes over, and totally at the mercy of their Islamic nutcase neighbors?

Can someone explain to me why the Jewish vote in the U.S. is so different, especially with the revelations of all his anti Israel friends?

They probably get brain-washed by the left leaning
newspapers. They haven’t figured out those reporters don’t bother to check all the facts. Hopefully, they will decide to educate themselves before voting.

American Jews vote their liberalism. Israelis vote their country's future. Interestingly enough, the Israeli Labor Party is at 10% in the polls before the election. Most Israelis have had with the country's Far Left and its suicidal impulse.

If such a landslide should occur here in the election, the dems will be screaming “Election fraud,” file suit to have the election overturned and wind up having a liberal judge ordering that the results of a CNN website poll be used to deterrmine the winner.

“at several voting events”

What, McCain get-togethers?

The only polls that will reflect reality are the last ones by firms with reputations to salvage. They can massage the numbers to satisfy liberal media needs for poll-driven coverage and inevitability opinion pieces, but in the end their final numbers, the only ones that will be remembered, the ones used to advertise to future clients, must be close to reality.

Unless they think they can blame the “Bradley Effect” for their overlooking of the “Hang Up The Phone Effect”

Apologies in advance. There are literally hundreds of lurkers on each thread and it is for them, who may well not have seen the others, that I post it.
