I don’t think so. George Bush got a higher % of Black vote than Jewish vote. I can’t remember which survey though. I know I remember this as I was stunned being I see President Bush as probably the best friend in the White House Israel has had.

From here

Even in the Reagan years, when tax cuts were the order of the day, most Jews stayed loyal to the Democrats. With 38 percent, Reagan drew more Jewish support than any other Republican running for president since early in the 20th century (and double what George W. Bush drew), and many of those who voted for him subsequently swung back to Democratic candidates.

Bush got 19% of the Jewish vote. On the average, 80% of Jews vote for the demonrats. It's ridiculous.

Wrong again. The proportion of Jews who voted for Bush was about twice that of African Americans who voted for him. Note to mimaw: with the internet, it is easy to check facts.

"African American turnout surged approximately 25 percent in the 2004 election, with President Bush increasing his share of the Black vote to 11 percent compared to 8 percent in 2000."
