Israeli Americans Prefer John McCain
In the first exit poll conducted in this year’s presidential election, 76% of those who voted said they voted for Senator John McCain. The poll was conducted in Israel.
Interesting about the poll is that 46% of registered Democrats living in Israel said they had crossed party lines in order to vote for John McCain. The Republican crossover to Barack Obama, however, was minimal: only 2%.
The Israeli American vote is important in this year’s elections, because a lot of them come from key swing states including Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Israel has the third largest group of American voters. The largest is Canada, the second Britain.
The main reason many Israeli Americans support John McCain is the notion that Obama has surrounded himself with anti-Israel advisers. Secondly, polls show, Israeli Americans fear that Obama will not do what it takes to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
