Younger demographics and mounting economic pressure tied to the regional war are driving the shift in public opinion

Snip:

A new Pew Research Center survey, released on 7 April, shows rising negative sentiment among US citizens toward Israel and its Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with majorities now expressing unfavorable views and declining confidence in leadership.

The study was conducted from 23–29 March among 3,507 US adult citizens.

Six in 10 respondents report an unfavorable view of Israel, up from 53 percent last year, while the number of those holding a “very unfavorable” view has also surged, nearly tripling since 2022.

Confidence in Netanyahu has followed a similar downward trajectory, with around 59 percent saying they have little or no confidence in him “to do the right thing regarding world affairs.”
