"I think the survey demonstrates the enormous emotional attachment of potential American voters to the issue of Israel, and particularly to preserving religious freedom in Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty," Gold said. "I think that what we see in the survey is that the Israeli factor is one of several very important emotional issues for large sectors of the American public."

Dore Gold, president of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, said the results indicate widespread support for continued Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem, and are especially significant since the Clinton plan and the Geneva Accord all spoke of dividing the capital.
