The majority thinks the protests in the Arab World are more dangerous (54%) than good (21%) for Israel. C. American Jewish voters believe Iran is the top threat to Israel. Top verbatim responses: Iran (23%), Arab Countries/Neighbors (14%), Palestinians (9%) and Barack Obama (5%). D. If sanctions against Iran fail, and Israel were to attack Iran to stop them from developing a nuclear weapon, most Jewish voters (72% to 16%) would view it as an act of self-defense than an act of aggression. E. Fox News (20%) and CNN (18%) are the most trusted news organizations to report international news and Israel fairly.

An overwhelming majority (81% to 8%) disapproves of the U.N. voting to declare a Palestinian state that refuses to renounce terrorists and is linked to terrorist organizations. B. Four in five (81%) are against Israel being forced to return to its pre-1967 borders, which were susceptible to attack. C. Nearly three-quarters (73%) believe Jerusalem should remain the undivided capital of Israel.

Two-thirds (64%) think that if the Palestinian Authority were given their own state in the West Bank, part of Jerusalem, and Gaza, they would continue their campaign of terror to destroy Israel. Only 16% thinks they would live peacefully with Israel. E. An overwhelming majority (88% to 5) agrees with the position that before the Palestinian Authority is given their own country, they must first recognize Israels right to exist as a Jewish state. F.

Survey Highlights

Significant segments of Jewish voters are very concerned about the Presidents policies towards Israel and their future implications. A. Regarding the Palestinian-Israel conflict, 43% is unsure who President Obama favors. Among those with an opinion, more Jewish voters think he favors the Palestinians (31% to 26%). B. The plurality (46%) thinks President Obamas polices dont endanger the security of Israel but nearly 2 in 5 (38%) thinks his policies do put Israel in danger. C. Jewish voters are split on whether they trust President Obama to order the American Ambassador to the U.N. to veto any resolution which declares that the Palestinian Authority government is a legitimate Palestinian state although they refuse to renounce terrorism and are still linked to terrorism (41% yes/trust vs. 40% no/dont trust).
Survey Highlights
6. American Jewish voters have concerns about security here in the United States. A. There are mixed opinions about President Obamas policy of outreach to the Muslim world.

Survey Highlights
7. Among this heavily, most Democratic group, President Obamas re-elect numbers are surprisingly soft. It appears the Presidents policies and stances on Israel and the Middle East have caused American Jewish voters to rethink their support for the President. A. 65% claim they voted for President Obama in 2008, 64% have a favorable opinion of the President and 63% approve of the job he is doing as President; however, only two in five (43%) would vote to re-elect President Obama. The plurality (48%) would consider someone else and 9% are undecided. B. In April of last year, President Obama had a +11 job approval rating on handling Americas relations with Israel (50% to 39%). Now his job rating is 7points upside down (43% to 50%), which is a net loss of 18-points. C. Considering that President Obama has proposed a return to the 1967 borders, dividing Jerusalem, and allowing the right of return for Palestinian Arabs to Israel, two-thirds (67% to 24%) are concerned about President Obamas policies towards Israel if he were re-elected.
