Poll Shows
American Jews
Favor Dukakis

.

New York (JTA) — Ameri-
can Jews favor Michael
Dukakis for president over
George Bush by a margin as
high as 4- 1, according to the
results of a nationwide poll
released last week.
Of 647 Jews of voting age
contacted by telephone in
seven urban centers across
the country, 60.6 percent said
they would vote for Dukakis,
15.5 percent said they would
vote for Bush and 22.5 per-
cent were undecided.
The poll was conducted by
a professor of sociology and
Judaic studies at the City
College of New York.
According to William Helm-
reich, who conducted the
survey, the results hold a
silver lining for the
Republican Party. Most
significantly, younger Jews
were more likely to vote for a
Republican candidate than
older Jews. Among Jews 18 to
25 years old, 49 percent said
they were registered
Democrats, and 20 percent
Republicans.
