The poll, which was published for the non-profit organization on Sunday, found that 66 percent of respondents thought that the US should support Israel, whilst only six percent said it should back the Palestinians. 72% of respondents said that despite US domestic problems, a nuclear Iran must be prevented.
According to Stanley Greenberg of Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research, the data showed that regardless of the Democratic-Republican divide, Americans “find Iran with nuclear weapons to be a grave threat to the (United States) and feel the need to work hard to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons.”
The poll also showed that 56% backed US President-elect Barack Obama prioritizing the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, while only 19% of respondents said that “making peace between Israel and the Palestinians” should be one of Obama’s two top foreign policy priorities.
