Democratic Party Splits on Israel
In today's POLITICO, Ben Smith reports on a rift in the Democratic party with respect to Israel.

AAI president Jim Zogby weighs in on the subject and addresses the issue of whether or not this critical contingent will have any impact on President Obama’s standing among Jewish supporters, evangelicals and others heading into 2012.
