EDITOR'S NOTE: A poll commissioned by Amnesty International and New California Media shows Pres. George Bush is in trouble with Arab Americans, who are key voters in some swing states. Marcelo Ballve is a PNS editor.

Arab Americans, who represent key votes in Midwestern swing states like Michigan and Ohio, have starkly negative views of President Bush's handling of Iraq, prefer his Democratic opponent, John Kerry, and report experiencing high levels of persecution since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, a new poll shows.

A multilingual poll by Miami-based Bendixen & Associates show that 73 percent of Arab Americans do not support President Bush's handling of Iraq. The opinion poll of Arabs, Pakistanis and Iranians in the United States was commissioned by Amnesty International USA and New California Media (NCM), a nationwide association of ethnic media.

"I haven't seen this low from any one group in the United States," says pollster Sergio Bendixen.

These are the same people that Bush lied to in 2000, and made them think he cared about them. I am glad they are waking up.

1. Bush cares about only one thing, the weel being of George W. Bush.

I'm sure the Arab-americans had him figured out early on, but kept their opinions to themselves until now.
