Anyone better than Obama: Israelis

Israelis want US President Barack Obama out of the White House as soon as possible, a new poll suggests.

Fifty-one percent of Israelis think that any of the US presidential candidates will be better for Israel than Obama, who is set to leave office on January 20, 2017, according to the poll conducted by Israel’s Channel 1.

Twenty-six percent said a different president would not make a difference, while 15 percent were not sure if the elections would affect Israel.

A mere eight percent thought that the upcoming president would have an adverse impact on Israel.

Israeli support for Obama has been generally low throughout his presidential terms, according to the regime’s media. A Jerusalem Post poll conducted in August 2009 showed that only four percent of Israelis thought his government was more pro-Israeli than pro-Palestinian.
