Poll: Israelis strongly favor Clinton over Trump

[King_David]

Jerusalem (CNN)Almost twice as many Israelis prefer Hillary Clinton to Donald Trump, bucking the recent trend of Republican presidential candidates winning more support than Democrats, according to a new poll.

When asked which candidate they preferred, 42% of Israelis said Clinton, compared with 24% who cited Trump, a survey from the Israel Democracy Institute found. Another 13% said the candidates are the same from Israel's perspective.
The poll results represent a change from recent cycles in which Israelis have favored GOP candidates.

In fact, Israelis haven't preferred a Democrat in the White House since 2000, said Shmuel Rosner, author of "The Jewish Vote: Obama vs. Romney: A Voter's Guide."

"Clinton is a well-known commodity in Israel. Bill Clinton, up until today, according to several polls, is considered by Israelis to be the most friendly US president ever towards Israel," Rosner said.

1. Trump is so unpredictable - he could just cut them off without a cent, on a whim.

Which actually would not bother me in the slightest. But I could see why Israel would consider that a problem.

2. Clinton is going to bother you with her pro Israel stance .

3. I know.

That's unfortunate, but (obviously) she is the best choice overall.

4. The Democratic Party had always been pro Israel

Hopefully they expunge the anti Zionists from their ranks . Hillary hopefully will move on this.

5. Hillary more so than some others

She is definitely firmly in the pro-Israel wing of the Democratic party.

Wouldn't you agree?

6. Definitely

And will set the tone for the next 8 years.

7. Pretty sure he can't do that

even if he wanted to. Congress has the power of the purse.

8. Good point.

He talks about the presidency as if he do anything, with the sweep of the hand. It must be getting to me.

11. so if people don't support Israel, they're not loyal, patriotic Americans?

12. The BDS anti-Zionist crowd just tends to be anti-America as well as anti-Israel

Fascists, actually.

Just like all countries that are anti-Zionist & for BDS are Fascist.

Everything I've seen shows the BDS anti-Zio contingent has fascist tendencies.

13. Among those Israelis who can vote in the US presidential election, it seems as if Trump is their

favorite.
