American Jews express strong support for a final agreement with Iran that increases inspections in exchange for economic sanctions relief. Fifty-nine percent say they would support such a deal, compared to 53 percent of American adults in an April CNN poll that asked the same question. ... A striking 78 percent of American Jews would back an agreement that imposes intrusive inspections of Iran and caps its enrichment of uranium at a level far below what is necessary to make a nuclear weapon in exchange for phased relief from US and international sanctions.  “When it comes to the best way to keep Iran from getting a nuclear bomb, these results make clear that American Jews overwhelmingly support the president’s diplomatic efforts,” said J Street President Jeremy Ben-Ami. “The numbers just go to show—once again— that pundits and presumed communal representatives are flat-out wrong in assuming American Jews are hawkish on Iran or US policy in the Middle East in general.[emphasis added]”  American Jews are clearly paying attention to Iran negotiations —with 66 percent professing to have a “great deal” or “some” information—but they do not see it as a high priority issue. Only 6 percent rank Iran as one of the top two priorities on which they believe President Obama and Congress should focus, placing it at the bottom of a list of 11 issues. The economy (45 percent) is the top priority, followed by ISIS (29 percent). Israel ranks 9th, as 7 percent cite it as one of their top 2 issues.  Overall, President Obama’s approval rating remains higher among American Jews than among Americans in general. ... Seventy-two percent support a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. ... Seventy percent would support US engagement even if it meant stating US disagreements with both the Israelis and Arabs and 69 percent would support the US pressuring both parties to make the compromises. ... In a head-to-head race between Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton and presumed Republican front-runner Jeb Bush, Clinton beats Bush by 68-30 with 2 percent undecided.
