Paul Woodward:
In a poll conducted for the BBC, Americans (among 20,446 citizens from 19 countries) were asked the following question:
As you may know, the Palestinian Authority is planning to request that the UN General Assembly recognize the Palestinian Territories as a state and as a member of the UN. Do you think [RESPONDENT’S COUNTRY] should vote for or against this request?
The response from Americans was 45% in favor, 36% opposed, 2% abstain, 17% undecided.
