Another day another poll on the Jewish Vote
Zogby Poll: Kerry 75%, Bush 24% Among Jews
Senator John Kerry garnered 75% and President Bush 24% of a sample of 1,095 Jewish voters taken recently through and interactive survey at the Web site of pollster John Zogby, Zogby told the Forward in a telephone interview December 9.
“Those numbers are consistent with what we’ve seen and done all year," Zogby said.
Zogby was eager to debunk an inaccurate statistic attributed to his firm that has begun appearing on Jewish blogs. Those blogs cite a paper posted at his firm's Web site that gives 64% as the percentage of the Jewish vote garnered by Kerry; the blogs extrapolated from that figure to give Bush 36% of the Jewish vote.
Zogby said Kerry figure cited in the paper came from a sub-sample of 38 Jewish voters in his first telephone survey post election of 1,000 voters. Such small sub-samples are not considered valid. Bush got 24% of those 38 folks and “for reasons we’re not sure ‘Nader and Other’ got 10%,” according to Zogby.
