Poll: 86 Percent of American Jews Support Israel
(Manhattan Institute for Policy Research) Jesse Arm - American Jews are almost universally supportive of Israel (86%), while a mere 5% say they are not, according to a poll of 658 Jewish registered voters across the U.S. conducted on Oct. 5-9, 2024. 87% of Reform, 93% of Conservative, and 91% of Orthodox Jews support Israel, as well as 77% of those not identifying with a denomination. 83% of Democratic Jews, 86% of Independents, and 94% of Republicans support Israel. While they lean Democratic, Jewish voters are more likely to report high levels of concern over growing antisemitism in the Democratic Party than within the Republican Party. Many are likely uncomfortable with the Democratic Party's tolerance of voices that criticize Israel in extreme terms. Jewish voters support laws banning people from wearing masks with the intent to conceal their identity while congregating in a public place, like a public protest or encampment.
