With so many voters seated uncomfortably in the slots labeled Clinton and Dole, TIME and the Cable News Network are embarking on an ambitious new kind of political poll.

The Yediot Aharonot poll shows that three-quarters of the public favors the peace process at the moment, but over the long run nearly half have expressed opposition...
