AND THEY CONTROL THE WORLD

Teleseker Poll: Israelis prefers Bush over Kerry 48%:29% (Maariv, 8/6/04)

Adult Israelis (including Israeli Arabs) week of 6 August 2004:

If you could vote in the American presidential elections, who would you vote
for?
Total Bush 48% Kerry 29%
Likud voters: Bush 69% Kerry 18%
Labor voters: Bush 36% Kerry 44%
Shinui voters: Bush 40% Kerry 37%

Remember 2000, when the Democrats hoped that absentee ballots from Americans living in Israel would help put them over the top? This year, not so much.

NOT SO FAST: Campaign Journal (Ryan Lizza, tnr.com, 8/16/04)

[A] much larger poll out today by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research confirms that Bush has made no inroads. The numbers look almost identical to what VNS exit polls found in 2000. Here are the highlights:

Senator Kerry maintains a very strong lead over President Bush within the Jewish community. Senator Kerry leads President Bush by a margin of 75 percent to 22 percent. Senator Kerry's lead is as strong as the American Jewish vote was in 2000 for then-Vice President Gore over then-Governor Bush; respondents voted in 2000 for Gore over Bush by a margin of 76 percent to 21 percent.

Haven't they gotten Ariel's memo yet?
