FAVORABLE POLL ON ISRAEL LEAVES OUT ONE THING: Democracy Project posts about a new poll out:
The two leading partisan pollsters, Republican-leaning Public Opinion Strategies and Democrat-leaning Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research conducted a survey (with link to questionnaire and results) of U.S. “opinion elite” attitude toward Israel. Opinion elite is loosely defined as college grad or post-graduate, all earning above $75,000, 99% saying they will vote in 2008,most regular readers of major newspapers, newsmagazines and TV news viewers.
The results are very positive for Israel, and the post duly lists them. But at the end of the post DP has a question:
While this poll is comforting to supporters of Israel, there is a key question not asked that would provide greater comfort. Since most Democrats and Independents have given up on the U.S. involvement in Iraq, how much can Israel depend upon their support when the going is tough for Israel? Talk is cheap. Blood and guts are dear.
Just asking.
