Absentee-voter exit poll: Trump wins Israel by [35] points less than Romney did [View all]

Donald Trump won the US presidential vote among American citizens voting from Israel, according to an iVoteIsrael exit poll taken this week, but in an election plagued with low favorability ratings for both candidates, he had a far less impressive showing than past Republicans have in Israel.

As The Jerusalem Post exclusively reported on Wednesday, Trump received 49% of the Israeli-American vote, while Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton got 44%, according to the poll conducted by get-out-the-vote organization iVoteIsrael and KEEVOON Global Research.


This makes me hopeful that the attempt by some on the right and the left to make Israel into a partisan issue will soon end, come Tuesday. Also, exit polls DO have margins of error, so this could've been closer than seems.

PS: I edited the headline because they made an error.
