Poll finds Netanyahu less popular among Americans after Congress Iran speech
3/11/2015
Changes to Americans' views of Netanyahu were mostly felt among Democrats.
While the impact of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus speech to Congress on the Israeli electorate will not be fully apparent until after Tuesdays vote, a Gallup Poll released on Monday indicated that it has weakened his position among the US public.
Netanyahus favorability rating among the American public dropped 7 percentage points from 45 percent in early February, before the speech, to 38% now, according to the poll. Though his unfavorable rating rose from 24% to 29%, more Americans still have a positive, rather than negative, view of the prime minister.
This is not true of Democrats, however; 46% of them view him unfavorably, and only 17% favorably.
