| Poll: Support for Israel in US near all-time high | |
| 2012-02-19 | |
Israel ranked eighth on Gallup's list of Americans' favored countries; Iran ranked last
 This year's ratings for Canada (96%), Australia (93%), Germany (86%), Japan (83%), and India (75%) are all record highs for those countries in Gallup trends that stretch back at least a decade. The survey found Great Britannia (90%), La Belle France (75%), and Israel (71%) rated near their all-time highs. More generally, the survey showed, nearly all of the countries that garner majority unfavorable ratings are located in the Mideast or in Asian countries outside of that region.  Egypt's rating recovered somewhat to 47%, after slipping to 40% in 2011 from 58% in 2010.  Meanwhile, ...back at the Alamo, Davy was counting their remaining cannon balls and not liking the results... Soddy Arabia's rating has increased to 42% from 37% a year ago and is the highest for that country since February 2001, when it was 47%.  Surprisingly, Cuba's favorable rating rose to a new high of 37%, placing it well ahead of Libya (25%), Iraq (24%), the Paleostinian Authority (19%) and Syria (17%).  Countries appearing at the bottom of the favorability list include Pakistain (15%), Afghanistan (14%) and (13%). Iran is the least well-regarded country measured this year, with 10% of Americans viewing it favorably and 87% unfavorably. | |

| #4 The bacon makes up for the geese and snowy owls. Other than that, Canada doesn't export their problems over the border. That's nice too. BP: Being such an esteemed, august Professor of Constitutional Law, B.O. ought to be aware that there was a time when Americans were not too keen on Britain either. In fact, I think some shots were fired, possibly in anger, and then that Constitution-thingy came about. If for no other reason, you'd think he'd show a bit more enthusiasm for it. |

| #1 I'm not so sure about Canada. After years of oppressing America with a surfeit of Canada geese, they are now sending down waves of snowy owls to oppress our mice and miniature poodles. |
