The survey found that only 49.5% of those ages 35 to 44 and 70% of those people aged 65 and older are likely to vote.console.log("catid body is "+catID);if(catID==120){document.getElementsByClassName("divConnatix")[0].style.display ="none";var script = document.createElement('script'); script.src = 'https://player.anyclip.com/anyclip-widget/lre-widget/prod/v1/src/lre.js'; script.setAttribute('pubname','jpostcom'); script.setAttribute('widgetname','0011r00001lcD1i_12258'); document.getElementsByClassName('divAnyClip')[0].appendChild(script);}else if(catID!=69 && catID!=2){ document.getElementsByClassName("divConnatix")[0].style.display ="none"; var script = document.createElement('script'); script.src = 'https://static.vidazoo.com/basev/vwpt.js'; script.setAttribute('data-widget-id','60fd6becf6393400049e6535'); document.getElementsByClassName('divVidazoo')[0].appendChild(script); }“Arab society not voting spells a double disaster – both reducing the representation of advocates for equality, strengthening the presence of racists in the next Knesset,” said Amnon Be’eri Sulizeanu and Dr. Thabet Abu Rass, co-CEOs of the Abraham Initiatives in a statement.The survey was taken by the Yaffa Institute for Public Research, between April 1-3, 2019. It included a sample size of 511 Arab adults and has a margin of error of +/-4.5%.
