| A survey of Americans in the Holy Land released Thursday found that absentee voters supported Republican John McCain over Barack Obama by a three-to-one margin. The survey interviewed 817 Americans who have cast absentee ballots for next week's presidential election. It was conducted by Vote from Israel, a nonpartisan group that has encouraged Americans to vote. An estimated 40,000 Americans living in Israel are expected to vote. Barak said most Americans in Israel are observant Jews who tend to have conservative social views and hawkish attitudes toward the Mideast peace process. Such voters are drawn to McCain, he said. In contrast, most Jews in the United States are not religious and tend to support Democrats. |

Jews in Israel for McCain while Jews in America for Obama.
Politics: Not a surprise as the voters in Israel are a helluva lot more conscious of terrorism and needing strong allies then voters over here who are distance from it.
