Very disappointing numbers. Do Jews not follow politics? I dont get it.
Many liberal Jews are more afraid of Christian fundamentalism than they are of a foreign threat posed by Arabs. Israeli Jews aren't so confused on this issue...
The bulk of American Jews I encounter are the Reformed. They tend to have two or fewer children, attend services on only the highest of holy days, and disregard the dietary requirements - these folks are the Democrat faction. They are reflexively liberal. I think their support for Kerry stems more from their liberalism than from their identity as Jews.
BTW, they also favor an accomodation on the part of Israel toward the Palis. I realize these are gneralizations, but they are based on observation, not stereotyping.
