51. This Might Be A Better Link, Ma'am

Took some poking about to get a direct link.

If that's the right poll, I cannot quite find the figures you cite, though.

The nearest thing I could find is in answer to whether the BDS line is a legitimate form of protest, which is not quite the same as supporting it.

"Voters say that boycotts are a legitimate protest tactic, 76 percent to 14 percent, and they support the use of boycotts, 71 percent to 19 percent. Voters oppose anti-BDS laws, 36 percent to 27 percent. A plurality of voters say BDS is legitimate (36 percent), compared to those who say it is not (31 percent). However, voters overall do oppose BDS, 35 percent to 27 percent,with the remainder of respondents (38 percent) reporting they were unsure. A majority of Democratic voters say BDS is legitimate (53 percent), and 44 percent of Democratic voters support BDS. Democratic voters oppose anti-BDS laws, 48 percent to 15 percent. In addition, of the 38 percent of voters unsure about supporting BDS, a majority are Democratic voters (53 percent)."



Thank you for putting this up. It is an interesting site, and I had not heard of it before. It has a 'drinking from a fire-hose' air about it.

I want to be clear I am not claiming any misstatement or distortion on your part. I agree with your basic view, that support for sanctions against Israel is appreciable and growing, and the polling reported here certainly supports that. So long as an Israeli government fosters the settler movement I support withholding aid.
