Only 6 percent of Jewish Israelis consider the views of American President Barack Obama's administration pro-Israel, according to a new Jerusalem Post-sponsored Smith Research poll.
The poll, which has a margin of error of 4.5%, was conducted among a representative sample of 500 Israeli Jewish adults this week, following Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's speech in which he expressed his support for a demilitarized Palestinian state.
Another 50% of those sampled consider the policies of Obama's administration more pro-Palestinian than pro-Israeli, and 36% said the policies were neutral. The remaining 8% did not express an opinion.
The numbers were a stark contrast to the last poll published May 17, on the eve of the meeting between Netanyahu and Obama at the White House. In that poll, 31% labeled the Obama administration pro-Israel, 14% considered it pro-Palestinian and 40% said it was neutral. The other 15% declined to give an opinion.
Israelis' views of Obama's predecessor in the White House, George W. Bush, are nearly the opposite. According to last month's poll, 88% of Israelis considered his administration pro-Israel, 7% said Bush was neutral and just 2% labeled him pro-Palestinian.

They know which way the wind is blowing
What’s wrong with the 6% that they can’t see what everyone else can see?
Nice poll!
Recent American immigrants?
How will the Obamanoids spin that, I wonder.
ahhh...yes...that must be it.
At least they see the difference between the administration and the rest of America. True Americans will always stand by Israel regardless of who’s in the WH.
Probably American media moles.
Next poll:
What percentage of Americans think the US Government is pro-American?
My instant reaction,also. That 6% has a real problem determining which way the wind is blowing in a hurricane.
Looks like more Israelis know our President better than does over half of the citizens of the United States.
Most people seem unable to grasp the fact that the Democrat party, in spite of massive Jewish support and many Democrat Jewish politicians have always considered Israel to be the main stumbling block to peace in that region.
The anti-Israel and thinly veiled anti-Semitism of people like Jimmy Carter is really not that far from the thinking of so-called “mainstream” Democrat politicians in Congress. The Jewish politicians in this party go back to the synagogues in their districts, or states, and pay lip service about how much they love Israel but on major issues concerning the survival of Israel, they are mostly silent.
6% ???
Why is it that high?
Can we get the Israeli Jews to talk to the American Jews and tell them to stop voting for Democrats?
This is good.
We now have empirical, statistical data to show that the “floor-level” (the minimal rate) of stupidity in a given population is six percent.
The problem is that the rate of stupidity in a population only goes up from there...
Their right!! Now why in the hell do Jews in America vote 80+ percent for Democrats? I just don’t understand.
