Poll Watch: If Israel Attacks Iran 49 Per Cent Say United States Should Help

What is amazing to me is that 37 per cent say the United States should do NOTHING to help Israel.

Forty-nine percent (49%) of Americans say that if Israel launches an attack against Iran, the United States should help Israel. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 37% believe the United States should do nothing while just 2% believe the U.S. should help Iran.

Last summer, just 42% said the United States should help Israel while 46% said the nation should do nothing.

Sixty-four percent (64%) of Republicans say that the U.S. should help Israel as do 50% of those not affiliated with either major political party. A plurality of Democrats (44%) say that the U.S. should do nothing.

Interesting in that American Jews overwhelmingly are members of the Democratic Party. Yet, Democrats do not favor intervention with Israel.

The question is how this public perception will change as Iran becomes closer and closer to developing a useable nuclear weapon.
