Jews, African Americans most strongly opposed to Iraq War

Despite claims of a Jewish shift to the right, and supposed support of Bush's Iraq invasion, it appears that the vast majority of American Jews remain "doves". In fact a recent Gallup poll shows a similar ethnic and religious divide as in Vietnam - with African Americans and Jews being the most antiwar, and white Protestants being the most "hawkish".

78% of African Americans and 77% of Jews are antiwar, compared to 53% of Catholics and 43% of non-black Protestants. Those with no religion are also very much opposed.
