Kesher Talk

Still crunching the RJC poll of Jews for Bush: I still have not had time to analyze it, but here is Frank Luntz's analysis of the poll results and here are the questions the poll asked. (There's also a cumbersome Powerpoint presentation of the results).

Elsewhere in polling, a Qunnipiac University poll has found that 9/11 has changed some Americans' attitudes towards Israel. Quinnipiac claims that 25 percent of Americans say their sympathies have changed. 51 percent (of the 25 percent) now sympathize more with Israel while 13 percent sympathize more with the Palestinians. Overall, 51 percent of all U.S. voters say their sympathies lie with Israel in the ongoing Mideast dispute, while 13 percent say they sympathize with the Palestinians and 36 percent are undecided. Republican voters sided with Israel 62 - 9 percent, while Democrats backed Israel 47 - 17 percent and "independents" back Israel 45 - 15 percent.
