Poll: Most American Jews will vote for Clinton

According to the findings of a new poll, former First Lady, anti-Christian politician and arch-proponent of Palestinian statehood Hillary Clinton will get the majority of Jewish votes in next year's presidential elections.

Ynetnews reports that an annual survey conducted by the American Jewish Committee (AJC) reveals that 70 percent of American Jews prefer Clinton as their next president, while 75% of Republicans want Rudy Giuliani.

The survey identified domestic economic issues and not America's war on terror as a major influencing factor for that country's Jews.

In fact, 57 percent of those polled oppose a US military strike to prevent Iran's acquisition of nuclear weapons.

Most American Jews are democrats, apparently because they believe their community will be safest in a pluralist society where more emphasis is given on protecting the rights of minority groups - Jews, homosexuals, etc.

By contrast, the spirit of Zionism that once infused great numbers of American Jews is today relatively non-existent. What happens to Israel is of increasingly little concern to them.
