A new poll shows that 60% of U.S. adults now hold an unfavorable view of Israel, up from 53% a year ago, marking another significant drop in the country's standing with the American public as the war in Gaza and broader regional tensions continue to shape opinion.
The report, released by the Pew Research Center, found that negative views of Israel have climbed sharply in a relatively short period. It said the share of Americans with a "very unfavorable" opinion of Israel also rose, reaching 28%, up 9 percentage points from last year and nearly triple the level recorded in 2022.
