New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio jumped on a plane last month to make a 48-hour solidarity trip to Israel amid the wave of Palestinian knife, car and shooting attacks.
In January, he made a similar solidarity trip to Paris to pay his respects at the kosher supermarket where four Jews were killed in a terrorist attack.
Another Jewish public relations consultant, Ezra Friedlander, discounted the poll, saying: "It takes time for New Yorkers to get accustomed to their new mayor. Obviously he is dramatically different than Bloomberg, [Ed] Koch and [Rudolph] Giuliani. They have totally different personalities. Even Moses could not satisfy all the Jews - we're a difficult people to please."
He insisted that de Blasio remains "very popular in the Jewish community - across the board, including the Orthodox."
