56% of U.S. Voters See Israel as Ally
Fifty-six percent of American voters believe that Israel is an ally of the United States, while 3% see it as an enemy. A new poll by the Rasmussen organization shows that American perceptions of Israel remained good in September. Rasmussen pollsters asked a scientific sample of 1,000 Americans “Generally speaking, is Israel an ally of the United States, an enemy of the United States or somewhere in-between?” In response, 56% said “ally,” down slightly from the previous poll in August, and 3% said “enemy.” Thirty nine percent answered “in-between.”
I think the 56% number would be higher if more people were aware of the scientific and technological progress that comes from Israel.
