[.....] about four-in-ten (39%) of Americans say the U.S. should be less involved in resolving the Israeli-Palestinian dispute compared with 36% who say it should remain is involved as it is now, according to a survey conducted last fall. About a fifth (21%) of Americans say the U.S. should be more involved.
Opinions on levels of U.S. involvement do not vary widely across party lines, although Tea Party Republicans are more likely, (by a 38% to 21% margin) than non-Tea Party Republicans to say the U.S. should be more involved.
As far as how those in Israel feel, a poll last spring found that while Palestinians and Israelis had starkly different views of the U.S. and Obama, both sides favored the idea of Obama playing a greater role in resolving their dispute. About half (49%) of Israelis expressed that view as did 41% of Palestinians, while smaller numbers on each side said Obama’s involvement should remain about the same or be smaller.
Netanyahu’s trip to the U.S., which includes a Tuesday speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference, comes at a time when 61% of Americans express a favorable view of Israel. About six in-ten (61%) Israelis expressed confidence in Obama’s handling of world affairs in a spring 2013 survey (only 15% of Palestinians shared that view). A CNN poll conducted earler this year found that 39% of Americans had a favorable view of Netanyahu while 20% saw him unfavorably. The rest had never heard of him or expressed no opinion.
U.S. support for Israel remains high, and it cuts across partisan and religious lines [....]
