Detroit News:

The poll conducted by Zogby International, on behalf of the Washington-based Arab American Institute, revealed that 20 percent of Arab-Americans now consider themselves Republican and 46 percent Democrat. In 2000, when President Bush was elected, 36 percent said they were Republican and 38 percent Democrat. In polling during the three national elections after 2000, the proportion of Republicans hovered at 32 and 31 percent. … Arab-American voters also appear consistent with the rest of the population in that Arab Catholics — including Chaldeans, Malachites and Maronites — favor McCain, 53-31. Muslim Arab-Americans favor Obama 84-4.

For what it’s worth: the poll’s sponsor, the Arab American Institute, is run by James Zogby, brother of pollster John Zogby, and he is a partisan Democrat who keeps a signed picture of Yasser Arafat in his office (or at least he did several years ago, when I interviewed him).
