Three-fourths of the American voters who are conversant with the Palestine issue favors settlement of Jews there, although nearly half of the American public has not followed the Palestine discussions, according to a Gallup poll made public today. Of the Jews questioned, it said, ninety percent favor Jewish settlement in Palestine.
Fifty-five percent of all those questioned said that they had followed the discussions on Palestine. Further questioning of this group showed that 76 percent favored permitting Jews to settle; seven percent were against Jewish settlement; four percent approved if Jews favor it, while one percent favored leaving it up to the British and another one percent wanted the issue left to the Arabs. Eight percent did not know how they felt on the question and three percent gave miscellaneous answers.
