' t irs-rD ^ Jewish Vote for Nixon Is `No Shift to the Right' The 44 per cent vote total for Richard Nixon in 23 "Jewish" precincts around Detroit represents the most dramatic factor in a post- election survey conducted by the Jewish Community Coun- cil. resent a major shift to the right. The suggestion can plausibly be advanced that at least in the imagery of this campaign, Nixon emerged as the "middle grounder" in comparison with his op- ponent. "It was generally conceded that Nixon would improve on his 1968 record (16 per cent), but the 44 per cent vote proved to be greater than the preliminary speculation suggested," according to the summary of the survey, whose totals were printed in an earlier issue of The Jewish News. "Within this perception, the Jewish support which Nixon's candidacy received was merely a continuing ex- pression of the conventional pattern of Jewish voters. While expressing a strong in- clination for a middle-of-the- road position on the presiden- tial level, Jewish voters were overwhelmingly attracted, as usual, to the so-called liberal position in respect to other candidates and issues (viz: abortion, congressional and legislative)." The summary, written by Council community affairs associate Harold Dubin, con- tinues: "McGovern's surprising and impressive victory over `rlumphrey in the May pri- mary seemed to suggest that he had established a solid base of support among De- troit Jewish voters. There was no hint that Jewish ."oters were abandoning their longtime Democratic allegi- ance. In November, McGov- ern was not able to capitalize on his performance in the primary, and in some cases he lost votes in the inter- vening months." At the same time, Dubin writes, "The large Jewish vote for Nixon does not rep- Tiff DETROIT JEWISH NEWS ,1 52—Friday, Dec. 8, 1972 • • • The question of busing, for example, while it may ac- count in part for the Jewish vote for Nixon, "was prob- ably a more important con- sideration in the statewide and congressional contests. "The busing issue was a hot item during the primary, yet McGovern won at a when he was identified, by many, with a pro-busing position. Any significant Jew- ish anti-busing sentiment would have surfaced at that time in a greater vote for Humphrey or Wallace. "The busing factor should not be discounted; however, there is reason to doubt whether on the presidential level it was as important an issue as suggested by some commentators. • • • 1968 AND 1972 VOTE COMPARISONS JEWISH AREAS 1968 1972 OAK PARK Nixon-39 Pct.

"Another factor which may account for the Jewish vote is the administration's well publicized aid to Israel (since 1971) in the form of arma- ments and financial credits. While there was nothing in the McGovern record to sug- gest an unfriendly attitude toward Israel, McGovern was faced with the reality of Nixon's performance posed against McGovern's prom- ises.
