Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's waffling on the idea of a Palestinian state comes as the idea is less popular in the United States than it has been in at least two decades.
A new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows that the idea of establishing a new Palestinian state alongside Israel in the Middle East is more divisive than at any point in the past 20 years, as a long period of generally bipartisan support for the concept has passed.
The idea is still slightly above water, with 39 percent in support and 36 percent in opposition. But that's a far cry from past Gallup polling in which a majority of Americans supported the idea (as many as 58 percent in 2003).
The 39 percent who support the idea is the lowest that number has been in WaPo-ABC and Gallup polling since 1998, and the three-point gap between support and opposition is the smallest in at least two decades — though not statistically significant relative to other recent polls from Gallup.

This kind of surprises me, given the new luv for Palestine on college campuses. That being said, must US adults probably realize that another unstable, Jihadist state is not in their best interest. Especially when it will no doubt involve the large scale massacre of Jews and Christians.
“Without a Palestinian State, our goal is to kill all the Jews and destroy Israel.”
“With a Palestinian State, our goal is to kill all the Jews and destroy Israel.”
And they wonder why less people are supporting this.
Odd.
Overwhelming Democrat hardcover support. 39% of the whole is roughly 80% of the Romney 47%.
Hardcover = hardcore. Damn smart keyboard.
