Just 9 percent of Jewish Israelis think US President Barack Obama’s administration is more pro-Israel than pro-Palestinian, according to a Smith Research poll taken this week on behalf of The Jerusalem Post.

Forty-eight percent said that the Obama presidency favored the Palestinian side, 30% said his administration was neutral and 13% chose not to express an opinion for the survey, which has a margin of error of 4.5 percentage points.

The poll of a representative sample of 500 Israelis was conducted on Sunday and Monday after weeks of heightened tensions between Obama and Israel, but before the crisis intensified during Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s visit to the White House.

Probably due to the cargo planes he released to them on this visit.

Well you’ve got to remember that hussein did used to wear a towel on his head and did bow to mecca 5 times per day.

Let's see. 30% think Obama's neutral; 13% have no opinion; and 9% think Obama is pro-Israel. That's a total of 52% who DON'T think Obama is pro-Palestine. Thus the poll is 52% vs 48%, which is within the poll's 4.5% margin of error.

So... what is this poll supposed to prove again?
