Let's hope that this represents an understatement. A few more Jewish votes flipping for Bush in FL could sew it up for him.

Jewish folks are smart.

Great move on their part. Thank W for his great treatment of Arafat for these votes.

A lot of credit goes to Jeb and Ed Koch plus Rudy and maybe Savage.

Floridians love Jeb. He would make a great President but it would look too much like a monarchy. A real shame because Jeb is excellent.

A few more Jewish votes flipping for Bush in FL could sew it up for him.

With 79% of Florida precincts reporting, Bush is leading by 52%. Too close to call, but they probably haven't heard from the panhandle precincts where the polls stay open an hour later and are solidly for Bush.

Bush is also leading in Michigan.

Let's hope that the Dems on the left coast get discourage and stay home, while the Repubs give Bush the landslide he deserves!

Bush won 19% and Gore 80% of the Jewish vote in 2000, according to exit polling. An AJC survey of American Jewish voters in September found 69% would support Kerry and 24% Bush.

Big Whoop, +5 freakin %. Bush is the best friend Israel even had in the white House. Kerry would put the screws to Israel. Yet they still vote RAT. Pathetic.

Don’t forget he’s also pulling in more women, Hispanics, Blacks, ect. A few votes here and a few votes there all add up. Even more importantly the trend may continue next election and the Democrats will have to use more recourses and political capital to prevent further erosion.

This is great news. Now maybe I'll never again see someone bemoaning how "the liberal Jews never vote Republican".

George W. Bush has been reelected! Four more years!

My peeps came through!! :))

AJC also separately polled 370 Russian Jews at precincts in New York and Philadelphia. Harris said the results were the "mirror image in the opposite direction" of the AJC's September poll. At least 75% said they were voting for Bush, citing his Israel stance and his strong leadership in the war on terrorism.

Now I like that , they have a sense of what is important...

cnn had it up 5%(24) i'll bet with all those who don't admit it's 30%

"........found roughly 12 to 13 percent of Jews who voted for Al Gore in 2000 switched parties and cast their vote for President George W. Bush on Tuesday.........very strong support for Kerry.......Bush won 19% and Gore 80% of the Jewish vote in 2000......."

(80)(0.12) = 9.6 (ie. ~10)
19 + 10 = 29% voted for Bush in 2004.

That means 71% of the Jewish vote was against Bush in 2004.
