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.

Make your case.
You have asserted: "most Jews wish doom upon Christianity". You have stated this as FACT, not merely as opinion. When asked to substantiate it, you had nothing to offer for evidence. And you cannot, in fact, prove it, because it is a lie. And yet you continue to stand by your assertion.
Connect the dots.

Ping.
Many American Jews are "Jews in Name Only", whose real religion is Socialism. Once you take that into account, their position is consistant
you're right...75% is a drop and I too hope it goes down further.
that site I first mentioned...a Kerry site said that historically as much as 35% of the Jewish vote has been in play.
I also believe there is data to support that the ardent Jewish conservative vote has grown while the ardent Jewish lefty vote has declined.
Good news.
objectively, the Jews of America are all about money, period, with an occassional indignation for some percieved injustice, just so they can claim some civil right infringement.....
they are not about ethnic pride or religious devotion....
cherry, you make utterly fallacious statements on the Kobe threads, but this one is unconscionable.
Thanks for the ping, wardaddy, and Hildy,
I'll leave this "person" to you.
Cherry, my congrats on one of the best Jewhater posts of the thread. Clearly, there should be a quota on Jews.
Wardaddy, I know Cherry is neither representative of the Republican party nor of America, but as you know, in changing voting patterns, one moron like this undoes a lot of good.
Reread the thread, or my post 254 for a short version to that point. I realize FR isn't representative of or at all associated with the Republican Party, but they claim to be soliciting Republican votes. This isn't the way to do it. Best to hope for, GWB votes from Jewish independents.
where did you get that....sounds like CI lite.
Feel free to support that.
Speaking for myself, I despise folk who make comments like that. I won't insult my many friends on this site by describing you as a Christian.
What qualifies you to make such a sweeping, blanket and blatantly false statement?
Okay. You are a liar. Face up to it.
He's just your run of the mill bigot.
Yo, Jim, I seem to remember you accusing Jews of having a millenia long hangup, guilty conscience i suppose, about killing Jesus. Thus these Jewish problems.
Am I wrong?
Reread the thread. The right does it too.
Did they blame it on Judah Benjamin?
ugh.
Quotes from the early parts of this thread.
In keeping with the thread, since we're speaking of quotes, here's one that insults northern Christians AND YANKEES (my only relative in that war was one of those)!
Senator Ben Wade of Ohio accused him [Judah Benjamin] of being an "Israelite in Egyptian clothing" [for his defence of the South]on the floor of the U.S. Senate.
Benjamin answered,
"It is true that I am a Jew, and when my ancestors were receiving their Ten Commandments from the immediate Deity, amidst the thundering and lightnings of Mt. Sinai, the ancestors of my opponent were herding swine in the forests of Great Britain."
His grandpa bought a used car from a Jew and the transmission fell out.
That's a polite excuse.
What a nasty thing to say.
You are dead wrong about that.
Hummm I think it would be more accurate to say that some SECULAR(ie nonpracticing) Jews may be about money, just like SECULAR Christians. Most practicing conservative-orthodox Jews will go for Bush just like their fellow Christian conservatives.
Scary huh?
Common Sense should tell them the christians support Israel, and the Muslims don't...so if democrats support the Muslims, just where does that leave the Jews that voted for Kerry after the election is over???
