And Another Poll

According to the poll, 64 percent of the Jewish public supports a two-state solution. The poll, conducted as part of an in-depth study by the Institute for National Security Studies, found that the readiness of Israel's adult Jewish population to accept the establishment of a Palestinian state in the context of a final status arrangement rose from 21 percent in 1987 to 61 percent in 2006, falling to 55 percent in 2007 and 53 percent in the current poll.

The director of the poll, Yehuda Ben Meir, believes that...the concept of a Palestinian state still has negative connotations to many.

When the price issue is raised, the public is seized with significant stinginess. Only 15 percent support the removal of all West Bank settlements as part of a final status arrangement, while 43 percent are willing to "evacuate only the small and isolated settlements." More than 40 percent oppose evacuating West Bank settlements under any conditions.
