2. Shmuel Rosner did an op-ed about that same poll in JPost

he was going on about how much more the Republicans like Israel and such I did not whether to laugh or cry considering how many Democrats in the Senate and Congress fall all over themselves an can't wait to get in line to show how much they "support" Israel, but apparently it does them little good because what I have picked up rom reading talkbacks in 3 Israeli publications is that many in Israel can't wait to see Democrats in this country kicked out of office

Rosner's Domain: Dem-Rep divide on pro-Israel candidates

1. Yes, it is a problem to rely on polls from advocacy groups. But in this case there's a difference. One can see all the numbers, the cross-tabs, and decide for oneself whether this poll should be trusted or not. Much better than the average poll we get from the average advocacy group. Much much better. This should be the standard practice for all such polls.

2. I've spent hours today looking through the numbers. Many interesting nuggets, but one trend that can't be ignored is the huge gap between Democrats and Republicans on almost all questions related to Israel. Here's one table, showing the extent to which voters will be more inclined to vote for a candidate they perceive as pro-Israel - or less inclined to do so. Look at the differences between voters intending to vote Democratic and those say they will vote Republican:

also there is the fact that American Jews historically vote Democrat
