Support for Israel drives Evangelical vote, poll finds.

Poll conducted by the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews links US treatment of Israel to the vote of evangelical Christians.

Oct. 6, 2004 — Support for Israel is a decisive factor in evangelical Christians choice between President Bush and Senator Kerry in the upcoming presidential election, according to a poll conducted Sept. 27-Oct.4 by the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

Responding to the email and website-based survey, 31 percent of 1,875 self-described evangelicals who claimed they were very likely to vote in November called support for Israel their No. 1 consideration in selecting a president, and 64 percent called support for Israel an important factor in that choice. Nearly 98 percent of that group indicated they plan to vote for Bush, whereas 2 percent indicated support for Kerry.

Of 147 very likely Jewish voters, 32 percent said support for Israel was the No. 1 concern driving their presidential selection, and 59 percent called support for Israel an important factor. However, concern for Israel among this group did not translate into universal support for Bush, who was favored by 73 percent of Jewish respondents, with 27 percent supporting Kerry.

On related issues, 97 percent of evangelicals and 73 percent of Jews saw Bush as a better friend of Israel, compared with 2 percent of evangelicals and 10 percent of Jews who saw Kerrys election as better for the Jewish State. Similarly, 97 percent of evangelicals and 74 percent of Jews saw Bush as the candidate better able to protect the United States, whereas 16 percent of Jews saw Kerry as stronger in this role.
