WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Arab-Americans in four battleground states favor Democratic Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites) over Republican President Bush (news - web sites) in the White House race, according to a poll by Zogby International released on Tuesday.

The late October poll of Arab-Americans in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida found 54 percent of respondents would pick the Massachusetts senator in a three-way race with Bush and independent candidate Ralph Nader (news - web sites).

This is a 7 point rise for Kerry since a similar tracking poll was taken in September. The data was the fifth and final installment of an election-year tracking poll conducted for the Arab-American Institute.
