Poll: Jewish vote to remain with Dems WASHINGTON, Aug 16, 2004 (United Press International via COMTEX) -- Three out of four Jewish voters in the United States will vote for Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., in November, a poll released Monday indicated. The survey by the National Jewish Democratic Council and the Solomon Project found despite Republican attempts to win over Jewish voters, respondents chose Kerry over President Bush 75 percent to 22 percent. This is largely unchanged from the results during the 2000 election, when 76 percent of Jewish Americans voted for former Vice President Al Gore vs. 21 percent for Bush. Moreover, the poll found support for Kerry to be rock solid. Nearly eight out of 10 respondents said there was "no chance" they would vote for Bush, while 52 percent of Bush supporters said the same of Kerry. "These results indicate that after four years of President Bush, Karl Rove, and various GOP operatives spending vast resources -- both time and money -- in their effort to target the Jewish vote, they've clearly failed," National Jewish Democratic Council Executive Director Ira N. Forman said in a statement. The findings were based on a poll conducted July 26-28 with 817 likely Jewish voters and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percent. |=================(PNEWS-L) [FAIR USE DOCTRINE]=====================| | FAIR USE NOTICE: This is information distributed in an effort to | | advance understanding and constitutes a `fair use' of copyrighted | | material as provided for in section 107 of the US Copyright Law | | http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/17/107.shtml].
