The (U.S) people on Lebanon

[via Polling Report]

At first blush, a lot of the surveys regarding the Israeli attack on Lebanon are discouraging in that they reflect the effects of media propaganda, but if you look closer there is evidence that the public is not entirely buying the single side. Here are some polling results:

  • 45% blame Israel a great or moderate aount (USA/Gallup)
  • 43% (to 39%) want Israeli cease-fire (CNN)
