Although Democrat flunkies like former Congressman Wechsler persuaded their Jewish constituents that their party stands firm behind Israel, the latest Zogby poll finds that there is a significant divide, with Republicans being far more supportive of Israel that Democrats are:
* 42% of Democrats had a favorable rating of Israel compared to 92 of Republicans resulting in a 50% gap between the parties.
* While the gap is higher in this poll, the finding is consistent with a recent Gallup poll that had 53% of Democrats with a favorable view compared to 80% of Republicans.
