Views of how Trump is handling relations with Israelis and Palestinians
Americans are about evenly divided over whether Trump is favoring the Israelis too much (31%) or striking the right balance between Israelis and Palestinians (29%). Only 3% say Trump is favoring the Palestinians too much, while another 37% are unsure. (For more, read “Americans Give Early Trump Foreign Policy Actions Mixed or Negative Reviews.”)
Jewish Americans are also divided on this question: 36% say Trump is favoring Israelis too much, while 43% say he’s striking about the right balance. Just 2% say he is favoring Palestinians too much. Another 17% are unsure. By comparison, in February 2024, when we asked about former President Joe Biden’s approach, Jewish adults were less likely to say Biden was favoring Israelis too much (13% vs. 36% for Trump) and more likely to say he was favoring Palestinians too much (18% vs. 2% for Trump). Jewish Americans were about as likely to say Biden was striking the right balance as they are to say that about Trump (45% vs. 43%).
Seven-in-ten Muslim Americans say Trump is favoring Israelis too much, largely unchanged from the share who said Biden was favoring Israelis too much last February.
