I have a feeling that if we had a Republican president who did NOT support Netanyahu, the poll results would look a lot different. But if they separated out the "born against", those votes would stay the same: in support of Netanyahu.
Remember when the yokels screamed at the anti-Iraqi-invasion minority to just go live in Iraq if you hate America? How about they go live in Israel?Republicans say they feel more sympathetic to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu than to their own president, 67 percent to 16 percent.

Religion appears to play an important role in shaping the numbers. Born-again Christians are more likely than overall poll respondents, 58 percent to 35 percent, to back Israel regardless of U.S. interests. Americans with no religious affiliation were the least likely to feel this way, at 26 percent.

One likely Republican presidential candidate, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, is visiting Israel next month and told the Associated Press that he “absolutely” plans to meet with Netanyahu. Texas Senator Ted Cruz embraced Israel in his presidential announcement, calling on students at a Christian college to “imagine a president who stands unapologetically with the nation of Israel.”
