Polls released in the United States and Israel on
March 11, 2015 tell the same story in two different countries. Benjamin
Netanyahu’s speech to the U.S. Congress has backfired on the Israeli
Prime Minister in a spectacular way. In the United States, a Gallup Poll, conducted from March 5-8, finds that Bibi’s popularity has dropped considerably since his address to Congress.
In February, a Gallup survey found 45 percent of Americans held a favorable view of Netanyahu,
compared to 24 percent who viewed him unfavorably. After his speech to
Congress, Netanyahu’s favorable rating dropped to 38 percent. His
unfavorable numbers climbed to 29 percent. Overall, that represents a 12
percentage point decline in his favorable to unfavorable spread.
