Americans maintain a largely positive view of Israel, a recent Gallup poll shows, although support for the Jewish state’s side in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has somewhat diminished among liberals, Democrats, and even moderate and liberal Republicans.

All in all, 69 percent of Americans held a very or somewhat positive view of Israel as a country, according to the poll conducted from Feb. 1 to Feb. 10 (pdf). Only 28 percent had an unfavorable view.
