Jewish Support for Kerry

Ha'aretz, the left-wing Israeli newspaper, prints an article about a poll of US Jews purporting to show that 75% will vote for Kerry and only 22% for Bush. While results like these would be very negative for Bush, this poll actually shows nothing except the bias of Ha'aretz in writing about it. The poll itself is biased on at least two levels. First, who it was done by:

A poll conducted in the U.S. for the National Jewish Democratic Council by Greenberg, Quinlan, Rosner, the polling and political consultancy that worked for Bill Clinton and Ehud Barak in the past.

And second the pool of people polled:

This poll was conducted by making an appeal for respondents through the Internet to known Jewish population centers and then adjusting the results according to known national data.

In terms of scientific polling, this is about as meaningless as a poll can get. The fact that Ha'aretz chose to publish it is simply an indication of its preference in this election.
