Despite Bush's reputation as what one Republican called "the best
friend that Israel has ever had in the White House," the president's
full-term effort to court Jewish Americans has failed, according to a
new poll that shows him trailing Sen. John Kerry.

"The work the Bush administration has done over the last three years
to reach out to Jewish voters has been largely unsuccessful," said
pollster Anna Greenberg, who conducted the poll for the National
Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC).

This could set up an ironic double win, because polls show Kerry
leading among Arab-Americans as well, a switch from their overwhelming
support for Bush four years ago.

"The anger among Arab-Americans toward Bush is palpable," pollster
John Zogby said recently after conducting a poll in Dearborn,
Michigan, home to one of the largest Arab-American communities in the
United States.
