Respondents were asked about what has “influenced” their views about Israel and were given a list of responses that they could select all that apply. About 27% of Christians selected the Bible, suggesting that among 73% of respondents, the Bible does not inform their views of Israel.

Misleading excerpts. Context is king. In the actual survey, the overall context for the stats at subject is much that of opinions of current events which come from news.

Thus asking

“Which of the following have influenced your opinions about Israel?”

has the media as the top source, at 56%, versus the Bible at 27%. If I asked a women, what influenced your choices of clothes recently, the weather may come out over the Bible, though the later is most broadly definitive.

Of course people polled are going to say "the Media."

Thoughts about Israel are something most people have had lately. Everyone is talking about Israel...and the Jews.

The reason they are talking about Israel is--wait for it--it's been in the news.

And where do people get their news?

The survey has the answer.

That's the reason people should never trust statistics. The way the questions are phrased, when they are asked, the actual persons asked (where, how old, gender, apparent erudition, attire)...

Polls are like laboratory experiments. If you can't go examine, assay, and/or confirm every minute detail of it, you can't trust it.
