Does the U.S. Back Bush on Israel vs. Lebanon?

Well, maybe not so much, according to pollster John Zogby:

A majority of Americans thinks the U.S. should not ally itself with either Israel or Lebanon in the current conflict that spans the borders of those countries, a new Zogby International telephone poll shows.

[...]

While 52% said the U.S. should remain neutral, 34% said it should back Israel in its fight against Hezbollah forces in Lebanon. Almost no one thinks the U.S. should stand with Lebanon against Israel, the poll shows.

Not really so far off the result of recent Canadian surveys on the topic. Rather comforting, actually.
