(JERUSALEM) — A poll released Friday shows that Israelis overwhelmingly have a favorable impression of President Barack Obama, despite a grave diplomatic feud with the U.S. over east Jerusalem construction.

Between a total of three polls released Friday, Israelis sent mixed signals about their own leader. Thirty-six percent of those questioned for one poll thought Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was best suited to lead Israel, versus 26% for his closest challenger, opposition leader Tzipi Livni. But another poll showed Livni's Kadima Party would overtake Netanyahu's Likud by a wider margin if elections were held today.

“You can’t save people from their own stupidity.”

Or, if you pardon the redundancy, their own liberalism.

Apparently Jewish people have some sort of defective gene that makes them enjoy being kicked.

I’ve been reading for days that Obama’s favorable rating is under 10% for Israel. Now how does this happen?

I will have to temper my criticism of the lack of backbone in our own Jewish Americans.

"Time+Ap thats all you need to know about this POS!"

I might suggest you read the story, before posting. If you had, you'd see that neither Time, nor AP did the polling. They're just repeating Israeli press accounts

It said “Time”.

Are Time reporters idiots?

Does a bear take an Obama in the woods?

Would Al Gore flunk the most simple of HS science classes?

Is Dan Rather’s brain shrunk 50% (only one cell now)?

Most of the press media in Israel are simply re-prints of the NYT and WaPO. TV is mostly CNN International.

Three separate polling companies (Maagar Mohot, Dahaf Research Institute and Dialog - all Israeli pollsters) completed three separate polls. Neither Time, nor the AP did the polling, they're just reporting the results.
