U.S. Russian community will vote for John McCain - poll

     MOSCOW.  Oct  24  (Interfax)  -  The  majority  among  the  Russian
community  in  the  United  States are going to vote for Republican John
McCain at  the  U.S.  presidential  election, the Moscow Bureau of Human
Rights (MBHR)  told  Interfax on Friday, after conducting a survey among
the Russian community in the U.S.
     MBHR  experts are monitoring the U.S. elections and are planning to
be in the  U.S.  on  election  day on November 4, human rights activists
said in a statement.
     MBHR  cited  figures  provided  by the institute for studies of new
Americans, which conducted a social poll among Russian immigrants in New
York, California, Georgia, New Jersey, Florida and Massachusetts between
August 30  and  October  10  in  cooperation  with  the  American Jewish
Congress.
     "Of  the  total  number  of  respondents 79% (80 % New Yorkers) are
certain  to  go  to  the  polls. Fifty-six percent (65% New Yorkers) are
going to  vote  for  John  McCain,  10% - for Barack Obama. Twenty-eight
percent  (19%  New Yorkers) are still undecided. Of those who are likely
to go to  the polls 63% will vote for McCain, 11% for Obama, and 25% are
still undecided," MBHR said in the statement.
     Four  percent  of respondents made donations to the Obama campaign,
MBHR said in the statement.
     During  the  U.S. census in 2000 almost 2 million Americans claimed
their Russian  roots and approximately the same number said the USSR was
their country  of  origin.  After  Poles  (over  6 million) the Russian-
speaking  community  is  the  biggest  group  speaking one of the Slavic
languages in the United States.
     New  York  has  the  greatest  number  of Russian-speaking American
residents.
