Focusing on Israeli-U.S. relations in the Obama era, the survey done by Maagar Mochot revealed concern over possible erosion of U.S. support for Israel, and over a rapprochement between the United States and Arab countries at the expense of Israel. Sixty percent of the respondents said they had a "positive" or "very positive' attitude toward President Obama.
However, only 38 percent said they thought his attitude to Israel was friendly - in contrast to 73 percent of respondents in a 2007 poll, who defined the attitude of the previous president, George W. Bush, as friendly. Asked whether reconciliation with the Arab and Muslim world would come at the expense of Israel's interests, 63 percent said they believed it would.
