7. The poll actually shows 64 percent agreeing with the AIPAC position
Edited on Fri Apr-09-10 07:41 PM by oberliner
There is essentially one question cited from the poll that has led the Daily Kos poster to come to their erroneous conclusion.

There are two statements listed one appearing to represent AIPAC's position, the other J Street's position with respect to the recent incident with Biden's visit to Israel.

Sixty-four percent of respondents said they agreed with AIPAC's position on the matter, while seventy-three percent agreed with the J Street position. This indicates that the two positions are not mutually exclusive.

In any case, the claim that American Jews are "strongly opposed to AIPAC's positions" is not at all born out by this poll.

Check out the slide show on J Street's website, specifically slide 16:
