Democrats are much more likely to express unfavorable opinions of Israel than Republicans (69% vs. 37%). In 2022, 53% of Democrats and 27% of Republicans had negative views of Israel.
Younger and older Democrats alike have turned more negative toward Israel over this three-year period, but negative views among younger Democrats have grown by 9 point
s, compared with a 23-point increase among older Democrats.
Among Republicans, much of the shift in attitudes has come among younger adults.
Republicans under 50 are now about as likely to have a negative view of Israel as a positive one (50% vs. 48%). In 2022, they were much more likely to see Israel positively than negatively (63% vs. 35%).
Views of Israel also differ substantially among the U.S. religious groups that are large enough to analyze.
Muslims and the religiously unaffiliated – those who say they are atheist, agnostic or “nothing in particular” – have particularly negative views of Israel (81% and 69% unfavorable).
White nonevangelical Protestants are about evenly divided in their opinions (50% unfavorable, 47% favorable).
Jewish Americans and White evangelical Protestants have mostly positive views of Israel. Around seven-in-ten in each group express a favorable opinion, including 42% of Jews and 36% of White evangelicals who express a very favorable opinion.
