I find it interesting that "...only 36 percent of all Americans
believe...", but "...over one-third of those Americans...".
To me, there's three percent difference in the statistic, but a large
difference in emphasis.

How about this? "Over 36 percent of all Americans believe that the
Bible is God's Word and should be taken literally. But only one-third of
Americans who support Israel believe the Bible teaches that the Jews must
possess their own country in the Holy Land before Jesus can return."
