Shifts in American Opinion on Israel

They're all negative. Ipsos, minus ten points.

Fox, minus eleven points. MU, Marquette University Law School s-

School Law poll, look at that, minus twenty points.

Pew Research Center, minus twenty-three points.

Negative, negative, negative, negative.

And Gallup earlier this year was also negative.

We're not just talking about the Democratic base anymore,

we're talking about the

general electorate as well. The general electorate has turned against

Israel. This is not just a left issue, it is an American issue when it comes to

opinions on Israel.

What's the trend line here?

What's the trend line here? The trend line is unbelievable.

Look at the trend line here. Compare this to Donald Trump's first term

at this

point in Donald Trump's first terms, Israel's average net favorability.

Wow.

You go back here, look at this. It was plus fifty-one points.

"Wow," Johnny says. "Wow," Johnny says, because this is wow. Plus fifty-one.

It's minus sixteen points in the average poll now.

That is, what, a sixty-seven point

shift against Israel in just eight years.

Israel used to be a consensus issue in American politics, and that was

a pro-Israeli position. Now, the consensus has actually

shifted, and now when it comes to general electorate, it

is a minus.

Israel is now seen negatively, and we're seeing it in poll

after poll after poll.

You just had this vote in the House where a hundred Democrats voted against

military assistance to Israel. How is that specific issue seen right now?

Yeah, you said wow, right? How about wow again? Take a look here.

I never thought I'd see the day. Military assistance to Israel, say U.S.

should reduce or end it. Overall, fifty-five percent say they should

reduce or end it. And it is true across the educational spectrum,

fifty-one percent of non-college graduates, sixty-two percent of college

graduates. So this isn't just an issue, right, among white liberals in

Democratic primaries. No, no, no.

This is true across the educational divide, even when we are

looking towards a general electorate.

The majority of Americans believe that military assistance to Israel should

either be reduced or ended.
