Jewish Israeli Support For Obama Surges

Conservatives like Mitt Romney have often bashed President Obama, claiming that he is not a friend to Israel. But a new poll shows Jewish Israelis increasing support of President Obama by a substantial amount. The poll, from the Brookings Institution, finds that 54% of Jewish Israelis have a favorable view of President Obama. That is an increase of 13% over the 2010 survey, when 41% had a positive view of the president. 80% of those polled had a favorable view of the United States.
