| Description | According to the latest poll, US Jews are down on Sen. Joe Lieberman and evangelical Pastor John Hagee.
Therein lies the rub: Hagee's spokesmen do not believe the results, saying the poll - commissioned by J Street, the new left-leaning pro-Israel lobby - relied on skewed questions. As for Lieberman, the Democratic-turned-independent US senator from Connecticut is not disputing the findings, but says he pays little attention to polls.
According to the poll, which has a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points, Lieberman scored an unfavorable rating of 48 percent among US Jews, compared to a favorable rating of 37%. Hagee, the leading right-wing Christian Zionist whose endorsement of Sen. John McCain for president triggered a firestorm earlier this year, fared even worse: The pastor registered a 7% favorable rating and 57% unfavorable.
