A new poll has raised eyebrows as it shows that a shocking number of Democrats have unfavorable views of Israel.
Gallup’s annual World Affairs poll found that only 33% of Democrats surveyed had a favorable view of Israel while a shocking 60% had an unfavorable view of the nation.
“This year marks the first time any party group has had majority-level unfavorable ratings of Israel, with 60% of Democrats expressing that view. Forty-four percent of independents also have an unfavorable opinion of Israel,” Gallup reported.
More than half of Democrats are anti-Israel according to new poll.

On the other hand, 83% of Republicans had a favorable opinion of Israel, as did 48% of independents.
“Democrats’ and independents’ sagging views of Israel have pushed its favorability to 54% among all Americans, its lowest rating since January 2000, when it was also at 54%,” Gallup explained.

“The 50 points separating Republican and Democratic positivity toward Israel shatters the prior record of 30 points measured last year, primarily because of a 14-point drop in Democrats’ rating,” Gallup notes.
“The current gap is also nearly three times larger than the average 18-point difference that existed between 2001 and 2023,” the report added, noting that “Republicans have consistently viewed Israel more favorably than Democrats have” over this time.

“The widening partisan gap likely reflects Democrats’ opposition to Israel’s actions in the Israel-Hamas war. It could also be a reaction to [President Donald] Trump’s strong backing of Israel, highlighted in his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House earlier this month,” the outlet stated.
Voters between the ages of 18 and 34 also showed strong reactions to Israel with 56% having an unfavorable view and 38% favorable in the survey, conducted Feb. 3-16.
Social media users reacted to the shocking numbers of Democrats with anti-Israel views.
That’s disappointing but expected, unfortunately.

Democrats literally raising anti-Semites while falsely claiming Republicans are Nazis!

Gallup poll last week found that while 83% of Republicans support Israel, only 33% of Democrats do.
That means that two out of every three Democrats are antisemites.
They have literally become the party of hate.
