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.
I am sure in your jacked up mind that translates into "wants to see Christianity go to it's doom".
Orthodox Jews vote for GWB not because of Israel, but because of his values. It's that's simple!!!!!!
You just nailed it!
No I never have.
You know all about Jews. You're an expert. You speak authoratatively, despite you inability to document your charges.
Jews wish doom upon Christianity
Yup, Jews spend their days damning Christians, everyone knows that
Jews are full of ..anxiety over what some people had a part in 2000 years ago carrying over to their descendents so many generations later
Yup, every day we fret about the vengence of the Jim Curtis's of the world
Clearly Jews would never post on anything other than Jews or Jewishness
You really need to get over yourself. If you see a hole in the ground and think it's your *ss, guess what, it's not, regardless of what runs through your mind.
BTW, skip asprin for the Jew fetish, it appears Jews may have had a role in it. It probably won't work.
Kerry's had foreign policy efforts? That's news to me.
they are not more talented or smarter, but they are ruthless and the Jews help one another go up the ladder....
Is that how (to cite a single example) Jewish refugee physicists during WWII so prominently figured in the Manhattan project? And the fact that several of them later won Nobel prizes (e.g., Bethe, Wigner, and Segre)was the result of ... omygosh! The Jews control SWEDEN, TOO?
why else would the likes of Barbara Streisand make it big?
Because people attend her movies and buy her albums/discs?
Goodness, you are an idiot.
Yeah... Remember Nicaragua? He was a newly minted Senator then. He screwed up royally on that.
you can't deny that its a political world where it's more who you know, then what you know...do you dissagree?
when I watch the Miss America pagent, I think of all the poor or middle class young women that are home, raising kids, holding down jobs, or in school, that could very well be much prettier, nicer, more talented than the superficial girls they have on those shows....
so just because you win the pagent crown, or get that recording contract, or sign that movie deal, or get selected for that top banana job, it doesn't necessarily mean that you are the only one out there that could do it or necessarily the BEST one to do it...only that you were "chosen"....
that is all....
we all know the accomplishments of Jews in this world.......I never meant to disparge them, only to make the point that Jews are among other groups that really support one another in getting jobs, scholarships, recording contracts, etc....and I think that is why so many Jews are in Hollywood and in the media in general....they got "helped"....
furthermore, my whole point is that I don't have any idea why American Jews would be so supportive of a candidate who is supported whole-heartedly by groups that hate and seek to destroy all Jews.....
if they are not supportive of their own ethnicicity, their own relgion, their own homeland, then just what, pray tell, are they supportive of ?.....their finacial interests seems as good a "guess" as any....
"There is a lot of old Jewish history in the old south...."
There most definately is. Meridian has a large Jewish
community. They are the pillars of society, are involved
in the community, and are very nice people. Too bad that
they are politically deluded. They vote overwhelmingly
for the 'Rats. Good thing that, in Mississippi, it won't
make a difference in who wins the state, and the electoral
votes.
What a beautiful pic, wardaddy. I haven't been in that
area in many years. Your description of it is perfect.
"So they took me to the police station
I took a sick wife and two snotty nosed crying younguns
in with me.
After about 15 minutes one cop said
"That check better be good"
LOL! That doesn't sound like fun at all.
Thank goodness you had sympathetic LEOs.
Or, did the "two snotty nosed crying younguns"
help that along? ;o)
This isn't the first speeding story you've told.
You must have a lead foot...
if they are not supportive of their own ethnicicity, their own relgion, their own homeland, then just what, pray tell, are they supportive of ?.....their finacial interests seems as good a "guess" as any....
Thank you for acknowledging it as a guess. I would characterize it as an opinion, to which you are naturally entitled.
I will not try to justify decisions made in Hollywood (or, as Michael Medved puts it, "Hollyweird.") The entertainment industry is a beast unto itself. I don't think talent or beauty have ever been the main criteria for who makes it there. (I have seen actors in 99-seat theatres whose talent would put most Oscar-winners to shame).
I will leave it that for now.
What a perfect pic to leave as you tuck tail.
That's a beautiful pic of Windsor Riuns.
I'll be living pretty close to Port Gibson.
dck2, that new guy, (whatshisname?) said he
lives in Port Gibson.
Oh, yeah!
I forgot about that.
dadburn
Right.
I'll ping him.
Proof positive that the American jew doesn't care a whit about their homeland. Show me the liberal money baby and I'll vote for it......
You "know" this, eh? Prove it.
You imply "all Jews" rather than most American Jews.
YOU said "most Jews". Most means "more than half". Prove that "most Jews wish doom upon Christianity".
You can't, of course, because it is a lie.
