Americans don't think Obama is supportive enough of Israel.
Billions in aid, vows to attack Iran, covert cooperation against Iran's nuclear program -- none of these policies are evidently enough to convince Americans that President Obama is "supportive enough" of Israel, according to a poll for the Hill:
The proportion of voters who now say the president does not give strong enough backing to Israel is higher than it was in each of three similar surveys conducted for The Hill since May 2011.Correspondingly, fewer voters now find the White Houseâ??s policy excessively supportive of Israel.
According to the latest Hill Poll, just 13 percent of respondents say the presidentâ??s policy toward Israel is too supportive. A full 39 percent said Obama is not supportive enough, the highest percentage The Hill Poll has seen.
Moreover, 30 percent think the president is anti-Israel while 28 percent think he is pro-Israel.
Also interesting to note that while Americans evidently want the administration to do more to support Israel, a majority of voters also insist that President Obama should be "very or somewhat" active in forging a peace deal between the Israelis and Palestinians.
