Poll Finds Only 10% of Israelis View President Obama Favorably Ahead of First Presidential Visit

Ahead of President Obama’s first presidential visit to Israel next week, a new poll by the Maagar Mohot Institute and the Israeli daily Maariv claims that only 10% of Israelis view the U.S. president “favorably.”

Politico relates:

President Obama has said he wants to speak directly with the Israeli people and reinforce his support for Israel during his trip there next week.

He may have some serious talking to do. A new poll of Israelis conducted by Maagar Mohot Institute and Israeli daily Maariv found that 38 percent believe he is hostile to Israel and 14 percent believe he is indifferent. Only a third think he is supportive.

In addition, Obama is facing steep unfavorable ratings in the country, the poll found. Some 32 percent said they don’t like him but respect him, 19 percent view him unfavorably and 17 percent have a highly unfavorable opinion of him.

Perhaps the most daunting number for Obama in the poll: Only 10 percent view him favorably. [Emphasis added]

“I don’t feel like he’s done anything special for Israel,” Oshri Biton, a 40-year-old Jerusalem merchant, recently told the Associated Press. “As president, he has to be a friend of Israel’s. But he’s a friend who pats you on the shoulder. He doesn’t give you a hug.”

The White House recently detailed President Obama’s priorities for the trip on YouTube:

I thought that he was going to make the world love us again? Bring us down to size? http://wp.me/p30zk7-d6 Like, shutting this business down…fricking drones. Shut down all business, destroy the country, alienate our friends and cozy up to the bad guys. Awesome.

I just don’t understand the part that says they respect him. That’s like saying they respect Hitler. “Know your enemy”!!!

From the looks of the poll, it shows that there are more American Freedom lovers in Israel, then in the Democrat Party. I’m not surprised.

And that headline looks like this in the U.S.

POLL: 90% OF Jews in America VIEW OBAMA FAVORABLY.

I don’t get it.

This is a big change among Jews. Perhaps they will view Obama with an open mind, now that everything here and the Middle East is a mess due to his policies.

“As president, he has to be a friend of Israel’s. But he’s a friend who pats you on the shoulder. He doesn’t give you a hug.” Almost correct, instead of pat you on the shoulder it should have been “…pat you on the shoulder and stab you in the back”.

Wouldn’t a better article title read: “90 Percent of Israel Dis-favorably Views Mr. Obama and 38% are Terrified of Him”?

So why did 99.99999% of American Liberal Jews vote to re-elect Mr. Obama? I guess they didn’t get enough of his great leadership the first four years?

When Obamacare fully kicks in in 2014 and all of our taxes begin to rise, Obama’s favorable rating will be hovering around 10% right here in the good old USofA ! It will not only be a rise in taxes, but also a rise in premiums for certain groups, such as young adults. Can you say backlash, is coming.
If the conservatives plan their strategy properly, the House and Senate should become majority Republican in November 2014.

At least Israelis understand President Obama. Israel is more like America than any other country in the Middle East. Not even close. President Obama wants to ‘fundamentally CHANGE America’ because we are not up to what he believes we should be. He attitude is not much different with Israel. What amazes me is that so few of us Americans can not see this.

You can’t be mad at the Oh-Bama. He just wants to get through his presidency being liked by everyone. As such he’s totally unwilling to make any hard decision. About 7 years ago when being groomed for the presidency, he secretly had his “testiculars” removed.

Just because there was Hezbollah literature at his church of 20 years is no reason to think…

The Israeli’s are not stupid. They know that obama supported Palestinians when he ran for office 2008 and still support them (even as much as giving over 144 million dollars to relocate some of them to the US). They know that obama couldn’t tell the truth if his life depended upon it. They know that obama wants to eradicate them. They will tread lightly.

I can’t believe that Obama hasn’t already faked some crises, so he can cancel his trip to Israel.
If he actually goes to Israel, he will find some reason to leave early.
