Israelis see Obama as pro-Palestinian: poll
AFP
Date: 7/16/2010
JERUSALEM (AFP) – Forty–six percent of Israelis believe US President Barack Obama is more pro–Palestinian than pro–Israeli, according to an opinion poll published by the English–language Jerusalem Post on Friday.
Only 10 percent of the 515 Jewish Israelis interviewed thought Obama was more pro–Israel, 34 percent said he was neutral and 10 percent did not express an opinion.
The poll suggests the July 6 White House meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Obama did not significantly change Israelis' perceptions of the US president.
A similar survey in March showed that 48 percent thought Obama was more pro–Palestinian and nine percent thought he was more pro–Israeli.
The poll was taken between Monday and Wednesday and has a 4.4 percentage point margin of error.
