Poll shows Israelis give mixed marks on Trump and Hillary, believe next president will be better for Israel than Obama.
While neither party has settled on a nominee, and with the Republican nomination process still very much in the air, Israelis are certain about one thing - the next President of the United States cannot be worse than Barack Obama.
According to a TNS Teleseker poll publicized on Sunday, Israelis are generally optimistic that President Obama's successor will be better for Israel than the incumbent, whose pursuit of the Iran nuclear deal and diplomatic dust-ups with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu have negatively impacted the president's approval rating among Israelis.
The poll shows that 51% of Israelis believe, regardless of who is elected in November, that the next president will be better for Israel than Obama, compared to only 8% who feel the next president will be worse. More than a quarter (26%) believed there would be no difference, and 15% had no response.
Interestingly, regarding the two leading frontrunners - former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Manhattan real estate mogul Donald Trump - Israelis had mixed responses.
Israelis were marginally more likely to believe that Clinton would be better for Israel as president than Trump by a margin of 42% to 34%

It is impossible to be more anti-Israel than Obama.
Too many Brooklyn transplants in Israel.
Someone needs to resurrect the FJB comments from Hillary! way back when.
The next Republican president is going to have to apologize for Obama’s incivility to outright hostility to our allies; and reiterate to our enemies that though Obama encouraged, respected and admired them, the party is over.
Yep, that bar is so low Satan can step over it.
When Iran says, “If we had the bomb, we’d blow up Israel.” and Obama then says, “Ok, here’s the bomb.”, then it’s hard not to see him as anti-Israeli as Satan himself.
Look, hackers are going to hack their way in -- what difference does it make The question is, how much would they pay to save themselves the time? Taking the money always worked for Bill when he had secrets rich foreigners wanted, and we still left the White House flat broke. Who knows where it goes?
Adolf Hitler was more pro-Israel than obama.
There will come a world leader who will be pro-Israel, for 3 1/2 years. Then he will turn.
Until you get Bernie or Hillary
