[CNN] Poll: Most Americans Oppose Republican Invite of Netanyahu
INN ^ | 2/18/2015, 3:13 AM | Ben Ariel

A large majority of Americans believe that Republican congressional leaders should not have invited Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to speak to Congress without consulting the White House, a new CNN/ORC survey release on Tuesday found.

The poll found that 63% of Americans believe it was a bad move for congressional leadership to extend the invitation without giving President Barack Obama a heads up that it was coming.

Only 33% said the Republican move was the right thing to do.

The speech has become a point of contention between Republicans and Democrats. Obama’s allies fear the trip could be used by Israel and by Republicans to undercut ongoing nuclear talks with Iran. …

Who’d they poll? Only Democrat Underground members?

This just proves the CNN poll ain’t worth a bucket of spit on all topics

Do these “Americans” even know who Netanyahu is?


How many REAL Americans do we have left?

Like the polls about ISIS. Do they ask these people if they know what ISIS stands for?

Polls like this are worthless.

If the last two elections are any indication, most Americans are dumbasses. Their opposition to Bibi is just a continuation of their dumbassery.

Did they only poll faculty & teacher’s lounges and NGOs?

Poles are worthless and irrelevant. We are talking about the End of Israel! To hell with CNN and their deluded ilk. The will sit comfortably in their studios as Tel Aviv goes up in smoke. The End of All Things is near. Don’t make the mistake of opposing the Keeper of Israel. He will judge America if we permit the Anti-Torah crowd to have their way.

Who the F asked them? I take it this is a poll of “adults”. Including non-citizens and idiots who never vote. Their options are irrelevant.

No body polled me; I wish Netanyahu was our president instead of Obastard.

This poll is bogus. Its wording is designed to elicit the desired response and today polls are useless if they don’t include an intensity measure and an accuracy measure. A lot of people don’t know s**t but will answer questions. I doubt many even know who Netanyahu is.

They weren’t asked if they favor Bibi or oppose him. If they had been asked that, I think most would say that is a question for the Israelis. They were asked if Bibi should have been invited to speak under these circumstances. You can see the results.

Most Americans voted for Obama.

Therefore Most Americans are idiots.

CNN should conduct an approval poll for slavery so that we can determine a policy position.

I’m sure this was a push poll, where the question is phrased to make the respondent answer in the way they suggest.

Time for one of those “Man on the Street” segments. Someone is bound to say “The leader of Japan in World War 2?” or something similar.
Like those same people afflicted with a terminal case of dumba** who signed the petition to end women's suffrage as well as the one to ban dihydrogen monoxide

I doubt many of them even know we have 3 branches of government. I watch Watters' world too. I don't know how some of these people manage to survive from day to day.

Very little that comes from the Anderson Pooper network is believable.
