AND..this...

Why Is Kerry Losing Arab-American Support?
Dr. James Zogby, Arab News

WASHINGTON, 22 September 2004 — Arab-Americans are John Kerry’s “canaries in the coal mine.” In days gone by, coal miners brought canaries into the mines in which they were working. Because they feared releasing pockets of odorless but deadly natural gas, the canaries served as an alarm.

As long as the canaries were singing, the miners knew that all was well. When the canaries went silent, the miners knew there was danger and would take action...

The most recent Zogby poll of Arab-American voters in key battleground states shows that while John Kerry still leads George Bush, his lead has been cut almost in half. In July, for example, Arab-American voters gave Kerry a 54 to 24 point lead over the incumbent President. By September, that lead had shrunk to 49 percent for Kerry and to 31.5 percent for Bush.

Bush’s job performance rating among Arab-Americans is up slightly but is still at a very low 31 percent. And the percentage of Arab-Americans who say the president deserves reelection is also at 31 percent.
