Americans? support for Israel grows in wake of Arab Spring, poll reveals

The convulsions of the Arab Spring may be driving the American public?s support for Israel to new highs, according to a poll released Wednesday by the Washington-based group The Israel Project.

Americans who say the United States should support the Jewish state in the conflict with the Palestinians increased from 60 percent a year ago to 68% today, a survey of voters taken November 6-8 by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner has found.

[...]

That analysis is supported by the finding that 81% of Americans want to maintain or bolster US relations with Israel, while only 13% want the US to distance itself from Israel. (A consistent 2% want the US to ?end its relationship with Israel.?)

That?s a significant bump in support for the relationship from one year earlier, when support for maintaining or strengthening the relationship was at 73%, and for distancing at 23%.
