I've just received the responses for the last survey of The Israel Factor - a project in which a group of eight Israeli professors and former officials was following the US election and ranking the candidates and their positions.
After more than two years since we started the Factor, this will be the last survey before the election, and it included many questions that I will post in the coming days.
