From Rasmussen Reports:
Forty-nine percent (49%) of Americans say that if Israel launches an attack against Iran, the United States should help Israel. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 37% believe the United States should do nothing while just 2% believe the U.S. should help Iran.
Last summer, just 42% said the United States should help Israel while 46% said the nation should do nothing.
Sixty-four percent (64%) of Republicans say that the U.S. should help Israel as do 50% of those not affiliated with either major political party. A plurality of Democrats (44%) say that the U.S. should do nothing.

My Comment: If President Obama formulates policy based on popular opinion polls, his recent critical remarks on Israel are mimicking what his base wants to hear (if the Rasmussen poll is to be believed).
But still .... only 49% are in favor of supporting Israel .... this is a statistic that I am sure is troubling a number of pro-Israeli supporters today.
