APN Poll Puts Bush Policies on Defensive

A recent poll commissioned by Americans for Peace Now and the Arab American Institute found that both Arab Americans and Jewish Americans rated President Bush's handling of the Arab-Israeli conflict as ineffective. Both Jews and Arabs in this country clearly want the U.S. to pursue a more active role in promoting Arab-Israeli peace.

Here are some highlights:

• 80% of American Jews, and 76% of Arab Americans, rate President Bush's handling of the Arab-Israeli conflict as ineffective.

• 96% of American Jews, and 91% of Arab Americans, agree that trying to achieve peace is important to U.S. strategic interests.

• 68% of American Jews, and 64% of Arab Americans, said that they would be more likely to vote for a candidate who promised to take an active role in the peace process. Only 3% from each community said they would be less likely to vote for such a candidate.
