3 POLLS SHOW: REPUBLICANS MORE SUPPORTIVE OF ISRAEL. From Rosner's Blog:

...One thing, however, is clear from the past: Democrats, in general, tend to be less supportive of Israel. In the poll released last week by The Israel Project [Word document], the gap between the parties was also evident: 82 percent of GOP voters opposed a resumption of financial aid to the Palestinian government compared to 48 percent of Democrats. 87 percent of Republicans believe Israel is one of America's strongest allies compared to 80 percent Democrats.

Two more examples (one can find many more): Last summer, a study by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press found that 68 percent of Republicans surveyed said they sympathize more with Israel than with the Palestinians, compared to 45 percent of Democrats. Similarly, a Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll found that Republicans favored alignment with Israel over neutrality - 64 percent to 29 percent. By contrast, 39 percent of Democrats supported alignment with Israel, while 54 percent favored neutrality. "Among political groups, Israel evokes the most sympathy among self-identified conservatives and Republicans," the Pew study reported.

If only this would play out in the Bush Administration.
