Polls: Overwhelming majority of Israelis trust US but not Obama
“Nearly 70 percent of Israelis have a positive attitude toward the U.S., and believe the U.S. is a loyal ally of Israel. More than 90 percent believe that in an existential crisis or “moment of truth,” the U.S. would come to Israel’s aid. Israelis view President Obama with increasing suspicion, however, the poll finds. Since 2009, the percentage of Israelis who said they view him ‘positively’ has dropped sharply from 54 to 32 percent, while the percentage of Israelis who view him ‘very unfavorably’ has risen from 14 to 23 percent.”
