Public opinion can change if people see a tangible improvement in their lives from the change. I think the majority on both sides will tell you "I just want to live in peace with them."
The majority of Americans seem to favour the One State Solution if the Two State Solution fails, viewing Israel's democracy as more important than their Jewishness

Haaretz is interesting reading, but it's also totally biased and not well circulated. It has a circulation of about 70,000 and most of those are English speaking Americans.
That poll you spoke of gave 3 options: one state solution, apartheid, or continued conflict....yeah I'm sure a lot of people are going to vote for the last two. The poll also didn't say "if the Two State Solution fails", it said "if the Two State Solution was not an option".
