Today Shibley Telhami published a new survey that shows that Democrats put Israel way down the list of important U.S. allies. The pollster writes:
Fewer than 1% of Democrats identify Israel as first or second choice among the two top US allies, behind eight other countries.
The U.K., Canada, Germany, Mexico, France, Japan, China, and South Korea all rate higher among Democratic voters as you can see in the survey.
Telhami says the poll is evidence of a growing
gap between elected Democrats and their constituents.
