Report: Polled Americans prefer Israel PM to Obama, page 1

President Obama's hot-miked conversation with French President Nicolas Sarkozy suggested that he is frustrated with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu -- but Americans might be more frustrated with Obama than they are irritated by Netanyahu.

"A poll conducted by the group Greenberg Quinlan Rosner found that 52.3 percent of Americans rate Netanyahu positively, compared to 51.5 percent for Obama," reports Israel Today Magazine. "The results of the poll were enthusiastically discussed on Israel's Channel 10 News on Thursday."

I'm not Israeli and i like him better than the big O.

Funny thing is Greenberg Quinlan Rosner does not show the poll on there website. Seems strange that they don't have it listed. But this news does come from the Examiner.

Chances are you're christian or Jewish, also chances are the people polled were one of these 2.

I'm currently looking at the poll itself right now, and nowhere in it is there a question contrasting the two leaders, let alone any result stating stronger support for Netanyahu. The closest there is in the poll to what is reported is a question asking for people to give their feeling about specific figures, states and peoples on a scale from 1 to 100. 1 being cold and 100 being warm. Scores broken down by the mean and by the percentage of respondents that gave a score of 51 to 100:

Barrack Obama - 59 (54%)
Benjamin Netanyahu - 56 (36%)

Just looking at those numbers show the opposite of what these headlines state. Americans, in fact, feel stronger about Obama than Netanyahu, and further, a higher percentage feel much more strongly.

The rest of the poll showed a right lean, not surprising considering two things. First, 44% of respondents self-identified as conservative versus 21% as liberal. Second, these are 800 Americans that quite frankly don't have the best grasp on the multitude of things that go on in Israel.

Most interesting to me is the poll item which received the highest supportive rating in the poll:
President Obama has said it is very important for Palestinians to continue to make progress in reducing the incitement and anti-Israel sentiments that are sometimes expressed in schools and mosques and in the public square, because all those things are impediments to peace.

Support this position: 90%
Oppose this position: 8%

I can't find this poll result posted anywhere.

So, my question is: where does this "polled Americans prefer Israel PM to Obama" nonsense come from?

How is this relevant in any manner?

I suppose BiBi's supporters also support his repression of Palestinians and Israel's attempts to engage Iran in war.

Give me a break.

There was a slight drop in support for Israel among Republican supporters, despite the fact that the Republican party is generally considered to be friendlier to Israel. There was still a majority even among Republicans, however, with 77% supporting Israel, down from 81% in a poll conducted last July.

I suppose there are always two ways to look at any story.

That would make sense. Netanyahu does embody America's legacy of displacing other cultures, after all. The Palestinians and Indigenous Americans have quite a bit in common.

Very odd for a President to get into religion like that, to single out one religion..
I wonder though if they checked on what's taught in some Jewish schools and synagogues.

With all racist, anti-Semitic and political views aside…..

Anyone who has heard Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu speak would have to admit that Netanyahu is a more intelligent, thoughtful, measured orator that Obama. He is a man who has true life experience outside government as well as a knack for galvanizing support. He’s a true patriot. He risked his life as a special op’s soldier in the IDF and he’s also devoted much of his civilian life in service of his country. Obama hates his country (his wife said so and his actions reflect) and he's done everything he can to tear down our system here in America and remake it into the social utopia so many here on ATS seek.

Obama is a figurehead rather than a true leader like Netanyahu. Obama reads a teleprompter to speak. We all know he's not calling the shots!

It’s not a shock to me that Netanyahu polls better with Americans....I'd vote for him! We appreciate patriotism and leadership in this country. Obama has none and Netanyahu exudes it.
