On January 12, 2004 the Associated Press reported, "U.S. Jews would overwhelmingly support any major Democratic candidate over President Bush if the election were held today, according to the 2004 Annual Survey of American Jewish Opinion. Joe Lieberman, the only Jewish candidate, would defeat Republican Bush by the largest margin, 71 percent to 24 percent, the poll found. In one-on-one matchups with the president, Howard Dean, Wesley Clark , John Kerry and Richard Gephardt would each receive about 60 percent of the Jewish vote, compared to about 30 percent for Bush, according to the survey conducted for the American Jewish Committee and released Monday... American Jews tend to vote Democrat, and 66 percent said they backed Al Gore in the 2000 race."
