A new poll of Israelis suggests that President Barack Obama is better-liked in the Jewish state than widely believed.
But the poll, released by advocates for more expansive American and Israeli efforts for peace with the Palestinians, also shows deep distrust for the American president among Israelis, a majority of whom view him as “weak on terrorism.”
The study by the New America Foundation found that 41% of Israelis have favorable views of Obama, while 37% view him unfavorably. That standing "is notably stronger than opinion toward the Israeli Defense and Foreign Ministers, and his unfavorable rating is only four points higher than the unfavorable rating for George W. Bush," the study's authors found. - Politico Story
