Poll: Israelis strongly favor Clinton over Trump [View all]
Jerusalem (CNN)Almost twice as many Israelis prefer Hillary Clinton to Donald Trump, bucking the recent trend of Republican presidential candidates winning more support than Democrats, according to a new poll.
When asked which candidate they preferred, 42% of Israelis said Clinton, compared with 24% who cited Trump, a survey from the Israel Democracy Institute found. Another 13% said the candidates are the same from Israel's perspective.
The poll results represent a change from recent cycles in which Israelis have favored GOP candidates.
In fact, Israelis haven't preferred a Democrat in the White House since 2000, said Shmuel Rosner, author of "The Jewish Vote: Obama vs. Romney: A Voter's Guide."
"Clinton is a well-known commodity in Israel. Bill Clinton, up until today, according to several polls, is considered by Israelis to be the most friendly US president ever towards Israel," Rosner said.
