Roughly half of American voters now say that the US is too supportive of Israel, according to new poll, while just 20% have a favorable view of Netanyahu.By World Israel News StaffNearly half of American voters say the United States is too supportive of Israel, the highest share recorded by Quinnipiac University since it began asking the question in 2017, according to a new poll released Wednesday.The survey found that 48% of registered voters believe US policy is “too supportive” of Israel, while 38% say the level of support is “about right” and 7% say Washington is not supportive enough.The findings point to a sharp erosion in public support for the traditional US-Israel alignment, especially among Democrats and independents, and come as the Trump administration faces deep voter skepticism over the Iran war and its aftermath.“Netanyahu gets poor marks from American voters as their appetite for supporting Israel wanes, with the share of voters who think the US is too supportive of Israel hitting a new high,” Quinnipiac polling analyst Tim Malloy said.The poll found a wide partisan divide. Among Democrats, 66% said the US is too supportive of Israel, compared with 18% who said support is about right and 9% who said it is not supportive enough.Among independents, 55% said the US is too supportive, 34% said support is about right and 7% said it is not enough.Republicans remained broadly supportive of current US policy toward Israel. Sixty-nine percent said American support for Israel is about right, while 20% said the US is too supportive and 6% said it is not supportive enough.The poll also found that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is viewed unfavorably by far more American voters than favorably.Forty-eight percent of respondents said they had an unfavorable view of Netanyahu, compared with 20% who had a favorable view.Another 30% said they had not heard enough about him.The results were released one day after anti-Israel Democrats scored major primary victories in New York City. Three candidates backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani — Darializa Avila Chevalier, Brad Lander and Claire Valdez — won Democratic congressional primaries, victories that Reuters described as a political earthquake for the party’s establishment.The Quinnipiac poll found that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is now a significant voting issue for many Americans.Asked which issues were important to them in deciding how to vote in US House races, 41% named the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, tying gun violence and ranking above Donald Trump and AI data centers, both at 38%.The cost of living, at 70%, and health care, at 59%, remained higher priorities.The survey also showed broad public opposition to the US military campaign against Iran.Sixty percent of voters said the action was “not worth it,” while 34% said it was “worth it.” Democrats opposed the war overwhelmingly, 93% to 4%, as did independents, 66% to 29%.Republicans took the opposite view, with 75% saying the military action was worth it and 17% saying it was not.“After months of diplomatic fits and starts, global economic repercussions and a broad loss of life in the region, a majority of voters make their feelings clear: the Iran war was a bad idea,” Malloy said.The poll was conducted after President Donald Trump signed a memorandum of understanding with Iran opening a 60-day negotiating period toward a longer-term peace deal.Despite that agreement, voters remained doubtful. Fifty-nine percent said they were either not so confident or not confident at all that the Iran deal would work, while 37% said they were very or somewhat confident.Sixty-one percent of voters said they believe it is either very likely or somewhat likely that Iran will develop nuclear weapons.The survey also found that 45% of voters believe the United States is in a weaker global position as a result of the Iran war, compared with 33% who said the country is stronger and 20% who said its position has not changed. On Iran’s position, voters were more divided: 39% said Iran is weaker, 31% said it is stronger and 26% said there has been no change.The poll comes amid a broader decline in Trump’s foreign policy ratings. Thirty-seven percent of voters approved of his handling of foreign policy, while 59% disapproved. On Iran specifically, 34% approved and 62% disapproved.Trump’s overall job approval stood at 38%, compared with 55% disapproval.The survey of 1,165 self-identified registered voters was conducted from June 18 to 22 and had a margin of error of 3.4 percentage points.The post Poll: Record number of American voters say US too pro-Israel appeared first on World Israel News.
