99. It doesn't say how the question was phrased.

My impression is that it was such that anyone who supported any for of concessions with regards to Jerusalem, no matter how minor, would be a "yes", in which case 58% is higher than I'd have expected, but still not terribly high.

I also note that that percentage is falling, and that "Some 92 percent of the respondents said they felt it was important to have a significant Jewish majority in the capital, and 81 percent said agreed that Jerusalem, with a Jewish majority, contributed to Israel's national strength."

Those tend to suggest to me that the concessions envisaged are probably fairly minor.
